In this work, we conducted the first principle calculation of electronic structure and transport properties of [NH3-(CH2)3-COOH]2CdCl4 (Acid-Cd). The generalized gradient approximation is used in structural optimization and electronic structure. The theoretical band gap value found is in good agreement with experimental. Electronic thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient (S) and figure of merit (ZT) have been calculated using semi-local Boltzmann theory to predict the thermoelectric characteristic of the studied materials.

Understanding and controlling the phonon, the dominant heat carrier of semiconductor materials, is essential to developing a wide variety of applications. This article studies the theoretical and computational approach of the calculation of lattice thermal conductivity of semiconducting materials. Despite having different methods to calculate the lattice thermal conductivity, first-principle estimates predict more accurately in most applications. This motivates to present the descriptive explanation on first-principle calculation with the combination of lattice dynamics and Boltzmann transport equation. Finally, we summarized an overview of the recent achievements and opportunities.

The relations between electronic structure and thermoelectric property of misfit layered cobaltite of Ca3Co4O9 and La-doped series are studied from the calculation by density function and discrete variation method (DFT-DVM). The highest valence band (HVB) and the lowest conduction band (LCB) near Fermi level are only mainly from O 2p and Co 3d in Ca2CoO3 layer. Therefore, the semiconductor, or thermoelectric property of Ca3Co4O9 should be mainly from Ca2CoO3 layer, but have no direct relation to the CoO2 layer, which is consistent with that binary oxides hardly have thermoelectric property, but trinary oxide compounds have quite good thermoelectric property. With the amount of La-doped increase, the gap between HVB and LCB firstly decrease, then reaches the minimum, finally increase. The gap affects the thermoelectric property. Therefore, there is a best amount of Na-doped to improve thermoelectric property, which is consistent with the experiment.

First-principle calculation is carried out on Al2O3(012)/SiC(310) interface model. It can be concluded from the electronic density and population analysis that Al-C and O-Si located at grain boundary primarily contribute to the interface bonding strength and creep resistance property. The electronic charges in grain boundaries and grains are compared with each other. And the valence electrons are found to be redistributed. The relationship of all kinds of chemical bonds in grains and grain boundary of the interface model is analyzed. Also the toughening mechanism of Al2O3/SiC multi-phase ceramic tool materials is explained in nano-scale.
