Thermoelectric efficiency in three-terminal graphene nano-junctions — Zahra Sartipi1, Amir Hayati2, and •Javad Vahedi1,3 — 1Department of Physics, Sari Branch, Islamic Azad University, Sari, Iran — 2Faculty of Mazandaran Technical and Vocational University, Technical and Vocational University, Iran — 3Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modélisation, CNRS UMR 8089, Université de Cergy-Pontoise, France
The thermoelectric efficiency of a thermal machine consisting of a triangular graphene nano-junction connected to three electrodes in the linear response regime is studied. Using the Onsager formalism and a combination of semi-empirical tight-binding calculations as well as Greens function theory, the efficiency at maximum output power which can be written in terms of generalized figures of merit is investigated. The results for a set temperature and chemical potential parameters have shown that adding a third terminal improves the efficiency at maximum output power compared to the two-terminal setup.
