Abstract

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 modi es 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.
