AbstractEver since global warming emerged as a serious issue, the development of promising thermoelectric materials has been one of the main hot topics of material science. In this work, we provide an in-depth understanding of the thermoelectric properties of X$$_2$$ 2 YH$$_2$$ 2 monolayers (X=Si, Ge; Y=P, As, Sb, Bi) using the density functional theory combined with the Boltzmann transport equation. The results indicate that the monolayers have very low lattice thermal conductivities in the range of 0.09−0.27 Wm$$^{-1}$$ - 1 K$$^{-1}$$ - 1 at room temperature, which are correlated with the atomic masses of primitive cells. Ge$$_2$$ 2 PH$$_2$$ 2 and Si$$_2$$ 2 SbH$$_2$$ 2 possess the highest mobilities for hole (1894 cm$$^2$$ 2 V$$^{-1}$$ - 1 s$$^{-1}$$ - 1 ) and electron (1629 cm$$^2$$ 2 V$$^{-1}$$ - 1 s$$^{-1}$$ - 1 ), respectively. Si$$_2$$ 2 BiH$$_2$$ 2 shows the largest room-temperature figure of merit, $$ZT=2.85$$ Z T = 2.85 in the n-type doping ( $$\sim 3\times 10^{12}$$ ∼ 3 × 10 12  cm$$^{-2}$$ - 2 ), which is predicted to reach 3.49 at 800 K. Additionally, Si$$_2$$ 2 SbH$$_2$$ 2 and Si$$_2$$ 2 AsH$$_2$$ 2 are found to have considerable ZT values above 2 at room temperature. Our findings suggest that the mentioned monolayers are more efficient than the traditional thermoelectric materials such as Bi$$_2$$ 2 Te$$_3$$ 3 and stimulate experimental efforts for novel syntheses and applications.

In the previous chapters we described the basic principles of density functional theory, gave examples of how accurate it is to describe static magnetic properties in general, and derived from this basis the master equation for atomistic spin-dynamics; the SLL (or SLLG) equation. However, one term was not described in these chapters, namely the damping parameter. This parameter is a crucial one in the SLL (or SLLG) equation, since it allows for energy and angular momentum to dissipate from the simulation cell. The damping parameter can be evaluated from density functional theory, and the Kohn-Sham equation, and it is possible to determine its value experimentally. This chapter covers in detail the theoretical aspects of how to calculate theoretically the damping parameter. Chapter 8 is focused, among other things, on the experimental detection of the damping, using ferromagnetic resonance.
