BLG-GaAs-BLG异质结构中热电输运的介电衬底依赖性

从理论上研究了介电衬底（h-BN, Al2O3, HfO2）上双层石墨烯（BLG-GaAs-BLG）体系的热电输运S。电子通过变形势（acDP）和压电（acPE）散射与砷化镓声子相互作用。结果表明，在低载流子密度和高介电常数条件下，压电散射在总输运中占主导地位。衬底介电常数显著影响热功率S，材料的热功率顺序为HfO2>； Al2O3> h-BN。当两个BLG层的密度不相等时，acDP散射对Sd的贡献在低（高）密度下比等密度下减小（增加），而acPE散射对Sg的贡献保持稳定，使得S在很大程度上依赖于Sg。增加层间距离d可以提高S，而温度升高可以提高Sd（特别是在低密度下），但对Sg的影响很小。这些见解和与衬底相关的趋势表明，衬底工程是优化BLG热电器件的关键参数。
