Abstract The proposition of this BEPE post-doc project concerns the ab initio investigation of thermoelectric transportproperties of two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures, formed by graphene, hexagonalboron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides. The aim is the understanding of the scattering mechanismsof charge carriers and phonons in such systems, which may potentially unravel ways for improvements in itsthermal and electric transport properties while fostering eventual applications. The methodology here will bebased on density functional theory calculations and the solution of Boltzmann transport equation for chargecarriers and phonons in the relaxation time approximation through Fourier interpolation of the bands and theirderivatives. The last topics of this project include the chronogram for its implementation, the way we disseminate the results and, finally, the corresponding references. (AU) | |
