摘要
We have studied the thermoelectric properties through ferromagnetic leads-QD coupled system(F-QD-F)in the Kondo regime by nonequilibrium Green's functions method. The spin-flip effect induced by ferromagnetic leads and Kondo effect influence the thermoelectric properties significantly. The peak-valley structure emerges at the low temperature due to Kondo resonance, and the peak-valley structure also relies on the polarization angle θ, the spindependent linewidth function Γγσ and the energy level of QD ?d. Novel resonant peak also emerges in the curve of ZTc versus polarization angle θ. The Kondo effect suppresses the figure of merit ZTc and the spin-dependent figure of merit ZTs. In addition, the spin-dependent figure of merit ZTs is relate with the gap between Γγ↑and Γγ↓.
