In October 2022, Yuan Li’ group show that the values of S, from junctions with SAMs, can be tuned over 5 times (maximum) by the topography of electrodes (from ~3 ? flatness to a ~3 nm roughness) and the flatter the surface of the electrode, the better the packing of molecules, resulting in the larger the Seebeck effect.
