Abstract
Abstract Extensive research is ongoing to improve the performance of thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of the material because preventing energy waste is vital in modern society. Herein, we study the thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties of the GeCH 3 single-layer (SL) under the influence of an external magnetic field, electron doping, and tensile and compressive biaxial strain by using the tight-binding and equilibrium Green’s function method. We found that the electronic heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, and electronic thermal and electrical conductivity increase by employing an external magnetic field, electron doping, and tensile biaxial strain. However, compressive biaxial strain yields a decrease in thermoelectric and thermodynamic properties. The results of our study show that the GeCH 3 SL is paramagnetic. The results presented here that the GeCH 3 SL is a suitable alternative for use in thermoelectric, spintronic, and valleytronics devices.
