We examine how the photo-induced carriers contribute the thermoelectric transport, i.e. the nature of the photo-Seebeck effect, in the wide-gap oxide semiconductor ZnO for the first time. We measure the electrical conductivity and the…
Bismuth telluride is a low energy bulk band-gap topological system with conducting surface states. Besides its very good thermoelectric properties, it also makes a very good candidate for broadband photodetectors. Here, we report…
We describe a theory on photo-thermoelectric properties of a semiconductor, which include photo-conductivity, photo-Seebeck coefficient, and photo-Hall effect. We demonstrate that these properties provide a powerful tool for the study of…
The Seebeck effect describes the generation of an electric potential in a conducting solid exposed to a temperature gradient. Besides fundamental relevance in solid state physics, it serves as a key quantity to determine the performance of…
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…
Photo-induced charge transport in plasmonic metal nanostructures has garnered significant interest for applications in sensing and power conversion, yet the underlying mechanisms remain debated. Here, we report spatially correlated…
W. Chr. Germs, K. Guo, R. A. J. Janssen, and M. Kemerink [1] recently measured the temperature and concentration dependent seebeck coefficient in organic thin film transistor and found the seebeck coefficient increases with carrier…
Thermally driven colloidal transport is, to a large extent, due to the thermoelectric or Seebeck effect of the charged solution.We show that, contrary to the generally adopted single-particle picture, the transport coefficient depends on…
A new transport regime of photon in two-dimensional photonic crystal near the Dirac point has been demonstrated by exact numerical simulation. In this regime, the conductance of photon is inversely proportional to the thickness of sample,…
We model carrier transport in photonic crystal lasers with lateral current injection through two-dimensional (2D) finite-volume simulations. Though such lasers can achieve ultra-low threshold currents, leakage paths reduce the carrier…
The Seebeck coefficient, which is proportional to a ratio of the thermoelectric conductivity to electrical conductivity has been examined for Dirac electrons in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ [BEDT-TTF denotes a molecule…
We report persistent photoconductivity in $p$-type Sb$_2$Se$_3$ single crystals doped with Cd or Zn, where enhanced conductivity remains for hours after illumination ceases at temperatures below $\sim$25~K. Comparative transport and…
Thermoelectric phenomena in photoexcited graphene have been the topic of several theoretical and experimental studies because of their potential usefulness in optoelectronic applications. However, available theoretical descriptions of the…
The temperature dependence of the charge carrier density, mobility and Seebeck coefficient of melt-grown, bulk ZnGa2O4 single crystals was measured between 10 K and 310 K. The electrical conductivity at room temperature is about s = 286…
Kondo insulator FeSb$_2$ with large Seebeck coefficient would have potential in thermoelectric applications in cryogenic temperature range if it had not been for large thermal conductivity $\kappa$. Here we studied the influence of…
Thermoelectric materials convert a temperature gradient into a voltage. This phenomenon is relatively well understood for inorganic materials, but much less so for organic semiconductors (OSs). These materials present a challenge because…
We report the thermoelectric properties (Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity) of lightly doped single crystals of (001)-oriented SrTiO3 (STO). Hall effect measurements show that electron doping around 10^-5…
Over the past decade, there has been a great interest in topological effects, with concepts originally developed in the context of electron transport in condensed matter platforms now being extended to optical systems. While topological…
Charged carriers in solids diffuse from hot to cold sides under temperature gradient to induce the thermoelectric voltage. Carrier filtering effect, which only passes either electrons or holes for the conduction process, is an efficient…
We have examined an isovalent Rh substitution effect on the transport properties of the thermoelectric oxide Ca$_3$Co$_{4}$O$_9$ using single-crystalline form. With increasing Rh content $x$, both the electrical resistivity and the Seebeck…
