Enhanced thermoelectric properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons with defects and magnetic field

We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons with defects and magnetic field by using non-equilibrium Green's function method. For perfect armchair graphene nanoribbons, it is shown that with its width increasing, the maximum of the figure of merit ZT is m...
