Development of new simulation method for thermoelectric properties for nanomaterials and its application

随着社会对能量收集技术的需求，提高材料的热电性能已成为基础科学和器件应用领域的研究热点。在这项研究中，我们已经开发了一种新的模拟方法的材料的热电性能，并构建了一个新的模拟器的基础上，我们开发的理论。此外，我们研究了半导体碳纳米管与随机分布的杂质的电子输运性质和电子-电子相互作用对电子输运纳米结构的影响与使用的模拟器。

According to the social demand for developing the energy harvesting technologies, enhancement of thermoelectric performance of materials have been attracted much attention both for the fundamental science and device applications. In this study, we have developed a new simulation method for thermoelectric properties of materials and constructed a new simulator based on the theory we developed. Furthermore, we investigated the electronic transport properties on semiconducting carbon nanotubes with randomly distributed impurities and the influence of the electron-electron interaction onto the electronic transport on nanoscale structures with the use of the simulator.
