A chemical-bond-driven edge reconstruction of Sb nanoribbons and their thermoelectric properties from first-principles calculations

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: value could be optimized to as high as 1.91 at 300 K, which was larger than those of Sb-based bulk materials and 100 times that of thin Sb films. These optimizations make the materials promising room-temperature high-performance thermoelectric materials. Furthermore, the proposed new concept of chemical-bond-driven edge reconstruction may be useful for many other related systems.
