Thermoelectric effects in gapped monolayer graphene

We study the electronic contribution to the main thermoelectric properties of gapped monolayer graphene systems. The system electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and the thermal conductivity, are numerically calculated based on a Green's function formalism. To describe the free electrons in gapped-graphene we used two possible scenarios, the massive gap scenario, and the massless gap scenario, respectively. In all cases, we obtained the system’s figure of merit and comment on possible thermoelectric applications for monolayer gapped graphene systems.
