This study is built on density functional calculations in combination with the non-equilibrium Green's function, and we probe the thermoelectric transport mechanisms through C60molecules anchored to Al nano-electrodes in three different ways, such as, the planar, pyramidal, and asymmetric surfaces.

Electronic structures and transport properties of prototype MoS2 nanotube (15, 0) nanocables, including undoped PSi@MoS2 and B- and P-doped PSi@MoS2 (where PSi refers to polysilane), are investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) and the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) methods.
