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.

Formation Energies

The formation energies of the T.M impurities Ti and Zr were calculated using DFT calculations at absolute zero and ab initio MD simulations at 300 K. We found that, with increasing temperature, Zr impurities become more stable and prefer to segregate at the interface of ∑5 (310)[001] grain boundary. In the case of Ti, the results show that it remains a stable defect when temperature increases.

Microscopic Models

We investigated Molybdenum (Mo) defects in 4H silicon carbide (SiC). This system can be suitable candidate for in vivo biomarker applications since it shows photoluminescence (PL) in the near-infrared (NIR) region. In order to reveal the origin of this Mo-related PL center we carried out ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations on two microscopic models.
