We present an improved tight-binding model in two dimensions with transfer energies determined from first-principles density functional theory calculations with an experimentally determined crystal structure. The temperatutre dependence of the Seebeck coefficient is calculated by adding impurity and electron-phonon scatterings. Noting a zero-gap state due to the Dirac cone, which results in a competition from contributions between the conduction and valence bands, we show positive S_x and S_y at finite temperatures and analyze them in terms of spectral conductivity. The relevance of the calculated S_x (perpendicular to the molecular stacking axis) to the experiment is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-09T00:26:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hydrostatic pressure", "organic conductor", "dirac electrons", "tight-binding model", "first principles" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
