Abstract

The doping and temperature dependent thermopower of SnTe is calculated from the first principles band structure using Boltzmann transport theory. We find that the $p$ -type thermopower is inferior to PbTe consistent with experimental observations, but that the $n$ -type thermopower is substantially more favorable.
