Abstract

we investigate the electronic and thermoelectric transport properties for a graphene–silicene–graphene (GSG) heterojunction with zigzag-edge nanoribbons under the modulation of the effective spin–orbit coupling (SOC) and potential energy. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method, it is demonstrated that both the transmission coefficient T and the charge Seebeck coefficient SC display the oscillatory behavior and can be effectively modulated by effective SOC λSO and the potential energy V0. Furthermore, the even–odd difference in transport and thermoelectric properties disappears in the GSG heterojunction. Additionally, the dependence of the transmission coefficient and the charge Seebeck coefficient on Anderson disorder strength has been studied.
