▎ 摘  要

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 Green's 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.
