Abstract

We investigated the thermoelectric properties and density of states of disordered kagome lattices doped with impurity atoms in the context of the tight-binding model Hamiltonian owing to the applied transverse magnetic field. The effect of scattering by dilute-charged impurities is discussed in terms of the self-consistent Born approximation. The Green’s function approach was implemented to determine the behavior of the density of states, transport, and thermoelectric thermodynamic properties of the kagome lattice. In particular, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and figure of merit of the kagome structure in the presence of impurity atoms was analyzed. In addition, the effects of impurity concentration and magnetic field strength on the power factor and Lorenz number of the kagome structure have been studied. Our numerical results showed that the electrical and thermal conductivities reached their peak values. The height of this peak decreased with increasing impurity concentration. The temperature dependence of the thermoelectric properties, such as the power factor and figure of merit, indicates an increasing behavior at low temperatures. Additionally, throughout our study, we observed variations in the density of state curves, indicating the influence of both impurity atoms and the transverse magnetic field.
