High mobility phonon-glass semimetal $CuAgSe$ has shown promise in recent years as a potential low-temperature thermoelectric material. It exhibits reasonably strong thermoelectric performance as well as an extremely high carrier mobility,…

We use low energy optical spectroscopy and first principles LDA+DMFT calculations to test the hypothesis that the anomalous transport properties of strongly correlated metals originate in the strong temperature dependence of their…

We use first-principles electronic structure methods to calculate the electronic thermoelectric properties (i.e. due to electronic transport only) of single-crystalline bulk $n$-type silicon-germanium alloys vs Ge composition, temperature,…

We present a strategy for increasing thermoelectric performance by invoking ferroelectric distortion in a transition-metal oxide. By using an ab initio calculation approach with the Boltzmann transport equation, a large Seebeck coefficient…

To clarify the origin of the nontrivial thermoelectric properties observed in the delafossite oxide CuRhO$_2$ polycrystals, we have performed the systematic transport measurements on the single-crystalline CuRhO$_2$ samples. In the parent…

We study the interplay of 3d and 4f electrons in the iron pnictides CeFe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$AsO and GdFe$_{1-y}$Co$_y$AsO, which correspond to two very different cases of $4f$-magnetic moment. Both CeFeAsO and GdFeAsO undergo a spin-density-wave…

Th$_3$Te$_4$ materials are potential candidates for commercial thermoelectric (TE) materials at high-temperature due to their superior physical properties. We incorporate the multiband Boltzmann transport equations with firstprinciples…

Recent Angle-Resolved Photo-emission Spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 046402 (2023)] on PdTe, a 3D-Dirac semimetal and a superconductor with the transition temperature Tc ~ 4.3 K, have revealed compelling evidence of…

Critical thermoelectric parameters including Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and figure of merit ZT of one-dimensional coaxial Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 nanocomposite were modeled by following the single carrier…

We have systematically investigated the influence of gradual replacement of Ca by Gd on the magnetic and complex dielectric properties of the well-known geometrically frustrated spin-chain system, Ca3Co2O6 (T_N= 24 K with additional…

We report on the thermoelectric power $S(T)$, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity measurements on the antiferromagnetic CeCoAl$_4$ compound. The N\'eel temperature of CeCoAl$_4$ is $T_N$=13.5K and a metamagnetic-like transition…

We report the effect of varying cobalt thickness on the temperature-dependent time decay of the electrical resistance of Co/Sb multilayer samples. We find that for a given temperature, a five fold change in the Co thickness produces a 100…

Flexoelectricity (coupling between polarization and strain gradients) is a property of all dielectric materials that has been theoretically known for decades, but it is only relatively recently that it has begun to attract experimental…

We have performed both in-plane resistivity, Hall effect and specific heat measurements on the thermoelectric cobalt oxide Ca$_{3}$Co$_{4}$O$_{9}$. Four distinct transport regimes are found as a function of temperature, corresponding to a…

The microscopic origin of the high Neel temperature (T_N) observed experimentally in SrTcO_3 has been examined using a combination of ab-initio electronic structure calculations and mean-field solutions of a multiband Hubbard model. The…

We developed a theory of electric and thermoelectric conductivity of lightly doped SrTiO$_3$ in the non-degenerate region $k_B T \geq E_F$, assuming that the major source of electron scattering is their interaction with soft transverse…

The thermoelectric power, $S(T)$, of the heavy fermions YbT$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ ($T$ = Fe, Ru, Os, Ir, Rh, and Co) has been measured to characterize their strong electronic correlations. A large, negative, local minimum in $S(T)$ with…

Pb-based compounds have garnered considerable theoretical and experimental attention due to their promising potential in energy-related applications. In this study, we explore the glass-like alkali metal lead oxides X$_2$PbO$_3$ (X=Li, Na,…

Two-dimensional ferroelectrics are important quantum materials which have found novel application in nonvolatile memories, however, the effects of reversible polarization on chemical reactions and interaction with environments are rarely…

An electro-optic modulator offers the function of modulating the propagation of light in a material with electric field and enables seamless connection between electronics-based computing and photonics-based communication. The search for…
