As a chemist, I can provide a general overview of how to approach this problem, but I cannot provide specific results without knowing the exact organic compound in question and having access to computational resources to perform Density Functional Theory  DFT  calculations.To investigate the electronic transport properties of an organic compound using DFT, you would typically follow these steps:1. Choose the organic compound and obtain its molecular structure.2. Perform DFT calculations to determine the electronic structure of the compound in its ground state. This will provide information about the energy levels, band structure, and density of states.3. Calculate the electronic transport properties, such as electrical conductivity, mobility, and Seebeck coefficient, using the electronic structure information obtained from the DFT calculations. This can be done using specialized software packages like BoltzTraP or Quantum Espresso.4. To study the effect of temperature, you can perform calculations at different temperatures by incorporating the temperature dependence of the electronic properties. This can be done by calculating the Fermi-Dirac distribution function at different temperatures and using it to evaluate the transport properties.5. To study the effect of electric field strength, you can apply an external electric field to the system and observe how the electronic properties change. This can be done by modifying the Hamiltonian in the DFT calculations to include the effect of the electric field.Once you have completed these steps, you can analyze the results to understand how the electronic transport properties of the organic compound vary with temperature and electric field strength. Keep in mind that DFT calculations can be computationally intensive, and you may need access to high-performance computing resources to perform these calculations for large or complex organic compounds.
