Thermoelectric Transport Properties

Thermoelectric properties of SrTiO3doped with 8%Pm at Sr site were investigated using density functional theory and generalized gradient approximation. The transport properties were calculated based on BoltzTraP code at temperature range 300-1200K. In electronic properties study Fermi level were shifted to conduction band region due to high contribution 4f orbital in Pm. Present study thermoelectric figure of merit ZT result was 0.395 at 300K and 0.638 at 1200K. This shows a considerably good value of ZT for SrTiO3as n-type oxide. Compared to previous work, ZT were at the range of 0.21 - 0.37 for temperature of 300-1000K in Pr, La, Ta and Ho.

AbstractThe thermoelectric transport properties of superlattices have been studied using an exact solution of the Boltzmann equation. The role of heat transport along the barrier layers, of carrier tunneling through the barriers, of valley degeneracy and of the well width and energy dependences of the carrier-phonon scattering rates on the thermoelectric figure of merit are given. Calculations are given for Bi2Te3 and for PbTe, and the results of recent experiments are discussed.

High Seebeck Coefficient

ABSTRACTWe report transport properties of polycrystalline TMGa3(TM = Fe and Ru) compounds in the temperature range 313K<T<973K. These compounds exhibit semiconductorlike behavior with relatively high Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, and Hall carrier concentrations at room temperature in the range of 1017- 1018cm−3. Seebeck coefficient measurements reveal that FeGa3isn-type material, while the Seebeck coefficient of RuGa3changes signs rapidly from large positive values to large negative values around 450K. The thermal conductivity of these compounds is estimated to be 3.5Wm−1K−1at room temperature and decreased to 2.5Wm−1K−1for FeGa3and 2.0Wm−1K−1for RuGa3at high temperature. The resulting thermoelectric figure of merit,ZT, at 945K for RuGa3reaches 0.18.

Thermoelectric Transport Properties

AbstractRecent measurements of the thermoelectric transport properties of a series of the half- Heusler compound ZrNiSn are presented. These materials are known to be bandgap intermetallic compounds with relatively large Seebeck coefficients and semimetallic to semiconducting transport properties. This makes them attractive for study as potential candidates for thermoelectric applications. In this study, trends in the thermoelectric power, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are examined as a function of chemical substitution on the various fcc sub-lattices that comprise the half-Heusler crystal structure. These results suggest that the lattice contribution to the thermal conductivity may be reduced by increasing the phonon scattering via chemical substitution. The effects of these substitutions on the overall power factor and figure-of-merit will also be discussed.
