We have systematically investigated the $Na_xCoO_2$ system doped with Cu, Y, Sn, W, Au and Bi for $x$ = 0:5; 0:75 and 1.00 using density functional theory. Sn, W, and Bi always substitute a Co while Au always substitutes a Na regardless of…

We present a study of the thermoelectric (Seebeck and Nernst) response in heavily overdoped, non-superconducting La$_{1.67}$Sr$_{0.33}$CuO$_4$. In spite of the electron-like curvature of the Fermi surface, the Seebeck coefficient is…
