Ab Initio Investigations of Thermoelectric Effects in Graphene – Boron Nitride Nanoribbons

Thermoelectric effects of graphene – hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoribbons have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Pristine zig-zag nanoribbons are not suited to achieve high thermopower as the transmission function is flat around the chemical potential. By introd...
