Thermoelectric performance of silicene under uniform biaxial strain: A first principles study

Neelesh Gupta et al.

Summary: 「This study investigates the effect of biaxial strain on thermoelectric transport coefficients in low-buckled monolayer silicene, demonstrating improvements in Seebeck coefficient and electronic thermal conductivity with applied tensile strain, while electrical conductivity and lattice thermal conductivity show slight degradation. The research also estimates the temperature dependent average relaxation time by calculating the electron-phonon coupling in silicene, enhancing the practicality of the study.」

Phonon transport in the nano-system of Si and SiGe films with Ge nanodots and approach to ultralow thermal conductivity

Tatsuhiko Taniguchi et al.

Summary: Phonon transport in nano-systems has been studied using nanostructured materials, revealing interesting behaviors like ballistic phonon transport. A drastic reduction in thermal conductivity was observed in films containing nanodots, with different materials showing peculiar effects on thermal resistance. Additionally, phonon simulation results show non-diffusive transport in nanostructured Si films and low thermal conductivity in SiGe films due to alloy and nanodot scattering.
