▎ 摘  要

In this paper, thermally induced spin current in graphene-antimonene heterostructure is investigated using first-principle density functional theory (DFT) combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. We obtain a higher spin current in the graphene-antimonene heterostructure (Gr-Sb) than in the graphene zigzag nanoribbon (GrZNR). The current versus source temperature shows negative differential behavior. Also, the results show that graphene-antimonene heterostructure's figure of merit coefficient could be ZT = 37 x 10(-3) in the energy range - 0.5 eV < E < 0.5 eV, while its value for monolayer graphene is about 4000 times less. These results show that the figure of merit ZT can be increased in the heterostructure of graphene-antimonene; thus, it can be selected as a platform for high-performance thermoelectric technology.
