ABSTRACTThe electron-phonon coupling in two-dimensional graphite (graphene sheet) and metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) is analyzed. In the graphene sheet the G-band phonon mode induces oscillations of the Fermi points, while the G′-band phonon mode opens a dynamical (oscillating with the phonon frequency) band gap, and accordingly, both phonon modes exhibit Kohn anomalies. Similarly, truly metallic armchair SWNTs undergo Peierls transitions driven by the G−- and G′-band phonon modes both of which open a dynamical band gap. In addition, the dynamical band gap induces a non-linear dependence of the phonon frequencies on the doping level and gives rise to strong anharmonic effects in the graphene sheet and metallic SWNTs.

This article examines the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the thermopower of low-dimensional structures. It begins with a review of the theoretical approaches and the basic concepts regarding phonon drag under different transport regimes in two- and one-dimensional systems. It then considers the thermopower of two-dimensional semiconductor structures, focusing on phonon drag in semi-classical two-dimensional electron gases confined in semiconductor nanostructures. It also analyzes the influence of phonon drag on the thermopower of semiconductor quantum wires and describes the phonon-drag thermopower of doped single-wall carbon nanotubes. The article compares theory and experiment in order to demonstrate the role of phonon-drag and electron-phonon coupling in the thermopower in two and one dimensions.
