Alkanethiol 吸附在金屬表面(1 1 1)之穩定的結構,有幾種可能的方式。連接方式的不同最直接的影響就是電子的傳輸性質會有所不同。我採用S吸附在金電極(1 1 1)有以下兩種。一種是 S-C鍵垂直的吸附在金電擊的Fcc site。另一種是S-C鍵與金電擊(1 1 1)的法向量有個夾角且吸附在靠近金電擊的Fcc bridge。我們以第一原理方法計算n-alkanethiols (n = 2,4) 連接金電擊的電子傳輸性質。首先利用VASP計算出最穩定能量的電子結構,以DFT結合Lippmann-Schwinger equation 散射理論的架構下算出在不同偏壓下散射電子的非平衡態波函數。最後探討在不同的連接方式以及不同的碳顆數下,對Seebeck係數造成的影響以及熱電性質。
In this thesis, the SAM structures for alkanethiols with short chains were studied on unreconstructed Au (1 1 1) surfaces. There are several possible positions for S adsorbed on Au (1 1 1). I adopt the Fcc site with the S–C bond perpendicular to the Au (1 1 1) surface.Also, I adopt the Fcc bridge with the S–C is inclined by 〖22〗^。for another system. under the framework of the density functional theory and the Lippmann-Schwinger equation ,we report DFT calculations for density of states、 Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric properties of Alkanedithiol.
