Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermopower measurement was carried out for single molecule junctions of Au-oligothiophene-Au. The thermopower increased in proportion to the temperature difference between Au electrodes showing the positive Seebeck coefficient. It was found that holes are majority carriers in this junction. The in-plane thermal conductivity of polymer films was measured using an AC calorimetry method. It was found that the in-plane thermal conductivity was twice as high as that measured perpendicular to the plane by the 3 omega method. In order to prevent the over-evaluation of thermoelectric properties, the electric conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of the specimen should be measured in the same direction.
