Article Abstract
We investigate the thermoelectric properties of a DNA molecule situated between semi-infinite contacts, taking into account the effects of decoherence. To represent the DNA molecule, we use two models: the fishbone model and the ladder model. Our approach employs a tight-binding method that utilizes Green's function technique, as well as real-space renormalization and polaron transformation methods. We calculate the transmission probability using the Landauer-Büttiker formalism and analyze the thermoelectric properties of the DNA molecular system. We calculate the electrical conductance, thermal conductance, the Seebeck coefficient, the figure of merit, and the Lorenz number, all while considering the effects of decoherence. This study provides insights into understanding inelastic effects in nanoscopic molecular systems.

Selenium, as an important semiconductor material, exhibits significant potential for understanding lattice dynamics and thermoelectric applications through its thermal transport properties. Conventional empirical potentials are often unable to accurately describe the phonon transport properties of selenium crystals, which limits in-depth understanding of their thermal conduction mechanisms. To address this issue, this study developed a high-precision machine learning potential (MLP), with training datasets generated molecular dynamics simulations.

With the rapid development of precision medicine and the continuous evolution of smart wearable devices, photothermal materials (PTMs) are experiencing a tremendous opportunity for growth. PTMs can efficiently convert light energy into heat to achieve localized thermal therapy for specific cells or tissues, offering advantages of minimal invasiveness, high selectivity, and precise targeting. Furthermore, PTMs can serve as molecular imaging probes and smart drug carriers, integrating multiple functions such as bioimaging and drug delivery to realize the visualization and controlled release of therapeutic processes.
