TY - JOUR AU - Larijani, F A AB - Abstract Present study is an attempt to investigate effects of encapsulation and movement direction of Na atom inside cage and cage type on thermoelectric properties of C N cage regarding inelastic electron–phonon interactions. Results show that thermopower sign varies on changing energy sign. Behavior of thermopower is linear via energy with small oscillations which depend on encapsulation and movement direction of Na atom inside cage and cage type. Also, encapsulation and movement direction of Na atom inside cage and cage type are important factors on thermal conductance of molecules. Rate of entropy production and the figure of merit of C N and Na@C N cages have been studied to get more insight on thermoelectric properties of C N and Na@C N molecules.
