In this paper, we investigate the thermoelectric transport coefficients namely the Seebeck coefficient, the electrical conductivity, the electronic thermal conductivity and the lattice thermal conductivity using first-principles calculations in density functional theory. We also estimate the figure-of-merit for both intrinsic as well as extrinsic low-buckled monolayer silicene. Using Electron-Phonon Wannier function, we calculate the average scattering time in the reduced Brillouin zone as a function of temperature. The scattering time of electrons in the conduction band is found to be slightly higher than that of holes in the valence band. Also, the out-of-plane acoustic phonon modes scatter more strongly than the in-pane acoustic modes and hence contributes less in lattice thermal conductivity. We observe that the lattice thermal conductivity of monolayer intrinsic silicene comes out of the order of 9.2 Wm1K1 and the figure-of-merit in n-type material is almost twice to that of the p-type at around 1200 K. We compare the results obtained with HSE06 hybrid functional and PBE functional and find that there is a significant improvement in the values of those transport coefficients calculated using HSE06.

低屈曲单层硅的热电输运性质的第一性原理研究

在本文中,我们使用密度泛函理论中的第一性原理研究了热电传输系数,即塞贝克系数,电导率,电子热导率和晶格热导率。我们还估计了本征和非本征低屈曲单层硅的品质因数。使用电子-Phonon Wannier函数,我们计算了在减小的布里渊区中的平均散射时间与温度的关系。发现导带中电子的散射时间比价带中空穴的散射时间略高。而且,面外声子模式比面内声模式更强烈地散射,因此对晶格热导率的贡献较小。-1个ķ-1个 在1200 K左右时,n型材料的品质因数几乎是p型的两倍。我们比较了HSE06杂化功能和PBE功能的结果,发现该值有显着提高使用HSE06计算的那些传输系数。
