Using ab initio methods, we study transport and thermoelectric phenomena of magnetic organic chains functionalized with nitroxide groups. We predict very good thermoelectric performance of the structure, as the conventional and spin Seebeck coefficients are remarkably enhanced. Our results suggest that magnetic organic chains would have a great potential for applications in spintronic devices.
Thermoelectric properties of silicene nanoribbons doped with magnetic impurity atoms are investigated theoretically for both antiparallel and parallel orientations of the edge magnetic moments. Spin density distribution and transport parameters have been determined by ab-initio numerical methods based on the density functional theory. Doping with magnetic atoms considerably modifies the spin density distribution, leading to a ground state with a non-zero magnetic moment. Apart from this, the spin thermopower can be considerably enhanced by the impurity atoms.
