Abstract

The thermoelectric characteristics of carbon nanotubes are studied theoretically. The behavior of the differential thermal EMF of single-layer carbon zigzag-type nanotubes is studied in an external longitudinal dc electric field. The dynamics of the electron subsystem of the nanotubes is described using the Boltzman kinetic equation in terms of the quasi-classical approximation of relaxation times. The analytic relationship has been obtained for the differential thermoelectric coefficient and its nonlinear dependence on the field strength has been revealed.

碳之字形纳米管在外部电场中的差分热电动势

摘要

从理论上研究了碳纳米管的热电特性。在外部纵向直流电场中研究了单层碳之字形纳米管的差热电动势的行为。纳米管的电子子系统的动力学是用玻尔兹曼动力学方程根据弛豫时间的准经典近似来描述的。得到了差分热电系数的解析关系，揭示了其对场强的非线性依赖性。
