When the Fermi level is at the Dirac point, the conductance has a cusp where the thermopower changes its sign. When the Fermi level is away from the Dirac point, the Kondo temperature illustrates a quantum impurity transition between an asymmetric strong coupling Kondo state and a localized moment state. The conductance shows a peak near this transition and reaches the unitary limit at low temperatures. The magnitude of the thermopower exceeds $k_B/e$, and the thermoelectric figure of merit exceeds unity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-07-16T05:14:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dirac fermions", "quantum dot", "thermoelectrical transport", "fermi level", "dirac point" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of the Physical Society of Japan", "year": 2013, "month": "Aug", "volume": 82, "number": 8, "pages": 3703 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013JPSJ...82h3703A" } } }
