| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermoelectric materials generating electrical energy from waste heat have attracted much attention recently, and the materials survey is required from the standpoint of the fundamental study and applications. The specific thermoelectric characteristics are observed for fullerene C60 as a spherical molecule, and therefore the temperature dependence of the properties are investigated with other structural and thermal measurements in this work. In addition, we have tried to discover a structure-property relationship and the mechanism of exhibiting the specific thermoelectric effect by using molecular dynamics calculations combined with GPGPU techniques. As a result, it is observed that a specious effect concerned with the structural change of the bulk model and molecular motions brings the thermal properties modulation, which may affect to the specific thermoelectric behavior of C60.
