We present recent advances in density functional theory (DFT) for applications in the field of
quantum transport, with particular emphasis on transport through strongly correlated …

How magnetism affects the Seebeck effect is an important issue of wide concern in the
thermoelectric community but remains elusive. Based on a thermodynamic analysis of spin …

Thermoelectric effects, measured by the Seebeck coefficients, refer to the phenomena in
which a temperature difference or gradient imposed across a thermoelectric material …

Thermoelectric materials convert a temperature gradient into a voltage. This phenomenon is
relatively well understood for inorganic materials but much less so for organic …

Energy needs and awareness of renewable energy are always increasing from year to year.
This results in a very large demand for renewable energy. Nowadays, its special concern is …

The introduction of magnetism into a solid material might significantly modulate its electronic
transport behavior, thereby serving as a means to tune the thermoelectric properties that …

A solar cell is a heat engine, but textbook treatments are not wholly satisfactory from a
thermodynamic standpoint, since they present solar cells as directly converting the energy of …

Heat-to-charge conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials is closely linked to the
entropy per charge carrier. Thus, magnetic materials are promising building blocks for highly …

We report studies of the Seebeck coefficient S of the quasi-one-dimensional compound Nb
S 3, together with the temperature dependence of its specific conductivity σ s and heat …

Thermoelectric phenomena in photoexcited graphene have been the topic of several
theoretical and experimental studies because of their potential usefulness in optoelectronic …
