Abstract
In this paper, we apply a tightly binding Hamiltonian model in the presence of a magnetic field for investigating the electronic and transport properties of γ-graphyne layers. We also consider the effects of in-plane biaxial strain on the electronic behavior of γ-graphyne layers. Moreover the impact of strain on magnetic susceptibility and specific heat of the structure is also studied. In particular, the temperature dependence of static thermal conductivity of γ-graphyne layers due to magnetic field and strain effects is studied. We exploit the linear response theory and Green's function approach to obtain the temperature behavior of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient. Our numerical results indicate that thermal conductivity increases upon increasing temperature temperatures. This effect comes from the increasing thermal energy of charge carriers and their excitation to the conduction bands. The temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient shows that the thermopower of an undoped γ-graphyne layer is positive on the whole range of temperatures in the absence of strain effects. The effects of both electron doping and magnetic field factors on temperature behavior of the electrical conductivity of γ-graphyne are investigated in detail. Moreover the effects of biaxial strain on thermal conductivity of single layer γ-graphyne have been addressed.
