Electron-vibration effects on the thermoelectric efficiency of molecular junctions
The thermoelectric properties of a molecular junction model, appropriate for large molecules such as fullerenes, are studied within a non-equilibrium adiabatic approach in the linear regime at room temperature. A self-consistent calculation is implemented for electron and phonon thermal conductance showing that both increase with the inclusion of the electron-vibration …
