Multiterminal single-molecule--graphene-nanoribbon thermoelectric devices with gate-voltage tunable figure of merit ZT
Kamal K. Saha, Troels Markussen, Kristian S. Thygesen +1
We study thermoelectric devices where a single 18-annulene molecule is connected to metallic zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) via highly transparent contacts that allow for injec…
Surface decorated silicon nanowires: a route to high-ZT thermoelectrics
Troels Markussen, Antti-Pekka Jauho, Mads Brandbyge
Based on atomistic calculations of electron and phonon transport, we propose to use surface decorated Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) for thermoelectric applications. Two examples of sur…
Electronic Transport Properties of Carbon NanoBuds
J. A. Furst, J. Hashemi, T. Markussen +3
Fullerene functionalized carbon nanotubes -- NanoBuds -- form a novel class of hybrid carbon materials, which possesses many advantageous properties as compared to the pristine com…
Electron- and phonon transport in silicon nanowires: an atomistic approach to thermoelectric properties
Troels Markussen, Antti-Pekka Jauho, Mads Brandbyge
We compute both electron- and phonon transmissions in thin disordered silicon nanowires. Our atomistic approach is based on tight-binding and empirical potential descriptions of th…
Transport in Silicon Nanowires: Role of Radial Dopant Profile
Troels Markussen, Riccardo Rurali, Antti-Pekka Jauho +1
We consider the electronic transport properties of phosphorus (P) doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs). By combining ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations with a recurs…
Scaling theory put into practice: first-principles modeling of transport in doped silicon nanowires
Troels Markussen, Riccardo Rurali, Antti-Pekka Jauho +1
We combine the ideas of scaling theory and universal conductance fluctuations with density-functional theory to analyze the conductance properties of doped silicon nanowires. Speci…
