We study the temperature dependence of thermoelectric transport properties of four FeSb2 nanocomposite samples with different grain sizes. The comparison of the single crystals and nanocomposites of varying grain size indicates the presence…
In typical thermoelectric energy harvesters and sensors, the Seebeck effect is caused by diffusion of electrons or holes in a temperature gradient. However, the Seebeck effect can also have a phonon drag component, due to momentum exchange…
Recently colossal Seebeck coefficient ($S$) has found in the several thermoelectric (TE) materials. We present colossal $S$ and large thermal electron motivate force (EMF) reproduced by space charge (SC) model, introducing multi-Debye…
The iron antimonide FeSb$_2$ possesses an extraordinarily high thermoelectric power factor at low temperature, making it a leading candidate for cryogenic thermoelectric cooling devices. However, the origin of this unusual behavior is…
Thermoelectric materials operating at cryogenic temperatures are in high demand for efficient cooling and power generation in applications ranging from superconductors to quantum computing. The narrow band-gap semiconductor FeSb2, known for…
Lightly doped III-V semiconductor InAs is a dilute metal, which can be pushed beyond its extreme quantum limit upon the application of a modest magnetic field. In this regime, a Mott-Anderson metal-insulator transition, triggered by the…
Lee, Rice and Anderson, in their monumental paper, have proved the existence of a collective mode describing the coupled motion of electron density and phonons in one-dimensional incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) in the Peierls…
We have measured the resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient of a MgB2 sintered sample. The temperature dependence of resistivity is fitted well by a generalized Bloch-Gruneisen equation with a Debye temperature of 1050 K. The Seebeck…
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…
It has been proposed that paramagnetic materials exhibit a unique thermoelectric effect near the ferromagnetic transition point due to spin fluctuations. This phenomenon is often referred to as paramagnon drag. We calculate the contribution…
Substitution of Sb in FeSb$_2$ by less than 0.5% of Te induces a transition from a correlated semiconductor to an unconventional metal with large effective charge carrier mass $m^*$. Spanning the entire range of the semiconductor-metal…
Using the \emph{ab initio} evolutionary algorithm (implemented in USPEX) and electronic structure calculations we investigate the properties of a new thermoelectric material FeSbAs, which is a material analog of the enigmatic thermoelectric…
The low-temperature transport properties (resistivity, thermal conductivity, thermoelectric power) are experimentally investigated for the compound YbMn2Sb2. Large Seebeck coefficient and nearly linear temperature dependence of resistivity…
Based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we study the origin of the anomalous temperature dependence of the Nernst coefficient ($\nu$) due to the phonon-drag mechanism. For narrow-gap semiconductors, we find that there are two…
To understand the unexpectedly high thermoelectric performance observed in the thin-film Heusler alloy Fe$_2$V$_{0.8}$W$_{0.2}$Al, we study the magnon drag effect, generated by the tungsten based impurity band, as a possible source of this…
A thorough understanding of electrical and thermal transport properties of group-III nitride semiconductors is essential for their electronic and thermoelectric applications. Despite extensive previous studies, these transport properties…
We investigate the effect of electronic correlations onto the thermoelectricity of semi-conductors and insulators. Appealing to model considerations, we study various many-body renormalizations that enter the thermoelectric response. We…
We present a combined treatment of the non-equilibrium dynamics and transport of electrons and phonons by carrying out \textit{ab initio} calculations of the fully coupled electron and phonon Boltzmann transport equations. We find that the…
We investigate the thermoelectric propeties of the electron-doped FeAs$_2$ both experimentally and theoretically. Electrons are doped by partially substituting Se for As, which leads to a metallic behavior in the resistivity. A Seebeck…
Herewith, we review the available experimental data of thermoelectric transport properties of iron-based superconductors and parent compounds. We discuss possible physical mechanisms into play in determining the Seebeck effect, from whence…
