Abstract

We propose a high-efficiency molecular junction consisting of a double-coupled-quantum-dot molecule sandwiched between two metallic electrodes. ZT can be enhanced in the Fano-line-shape regime, and it is sensitive to the magnetic flux threading through the double-coupled-quantum-dot molecular junction. This is mainly due to the local density of states in the Fano-line-shape regime may become narrower, and an abrupt changing in the conductance (transmission) spectrum is developed. We find the value of ZT can exceed 1 at room temperature by controlling the chemical potential or magnetic flux. So our results indicate such a molecular junction may be used to the solid-state thermoelectric energy-conversion device at room temperature.
