A model of charge hopping transport that accounts for anisotropy of localized states and Coulomb interaction between charges is proposed. For the anisotropic localized states the degree of orientation relates exponentially to the ratio of…
The Seebeck coefficient in liquids often reaches the mV/K range, yet its microscopic origin remains unclear due to the complexity of electrolyte systems. Here we propose a minimal electrostatic theory focusing on solvation entropy. Using…
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…
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…
Intuitive entropic interpretations of the thermoelectric effect in metals predict an isotropic Seebeck coefficient at high temperatures in the incoherent regime even in anisotropic metals since entropy is not directional.…
In this study, we investigate the charge transport properties of semiconducting armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) and heterostructures through their topological states (TSs), with a specific focus on the Coulomb blockade region. Our…
Using first-principles pseudopotential method and Boltzmann transport theory, we give a comprehensive understanding of the electronic and phonon transport properties of thermoelectric material BiCuSeO. By choosing proper hybrid functional…
We have combined the Boltzmann transport equation with an {\it ab initio} approach to compute the thermoelectric coefficients of semiconductors. Electron-phonon, ionized impurity, and electron-plasmon scattering rates have been taken into…
The band structure of the novel low-temperature thermoelectric material, \CBT, is calculated and analyzed using the semi-classic transport equations. It is shown that to obtain a quantitative agreement with measured transport properties a…
The two-dimensional electron liquid, at the (001) interface between band insulators {L}a{A}l{O}$_3$ and {S}r{T}i{O}$_3$, undergoes Lifshitz transition as the interface is doped with carriers. At a critical carrier density, two new orbitals…
A setup is designed for measuring the Seebeck coefficient (S) of materials in form of thin film, bar and wire. The main feature of this setup is control in heating and cooling cycles. In this setup heat pulse is used to generate the…
The compositional dependence of the lowest direct and indirect band gaps in $\text{Ge}_{1-y}\text{Sn}_{y}$ has been determined from room-temperature photoluminescence measurements. This technique is particularly attractive for a comparison…
We demonstrate theoretically that the characteristic feature of a 2D system undergoing $N$ consequent Lifshitz topological transitions is the occurrence of spikes of entropy per particle $s$ of a magnitude $\pm \ln 2/(J-1/2)$ with $2 \leq J…
Armchair biphenylene nanoribbons are investigated by using density functional theory. The nanoribbon that contains one biphenylene subunit in a unit cell is a semiconductor with a direct band gap larger than 1 eV, while that containing four…
The reliable calculation of electronic structures and understanding of electrical properties depends on an accurate model of the crystal structure. Here, we have reinvestigated the crystal structure of the high-zT thermoelectric material…
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…
Thermoelectric effects, measured by the Seebeck coefficients, refer to the phenomena in which a temperature difference or gradient imposed across a thermoelectric material induces an electrical potential difference or gradient, and vice…
Local curvature, or bending, of a graphene sheet is known to increase the chemical reactivity presenting an opportunity for templated chemical functionalization. Using first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT)…
We discuss the Seebeck coefficient and the Hall mobility of electrons confined in narrow SrTiO3 quantum wells as a function of the three-dimensional carrier density and temperature. The quantum wells contain a fixed sheet carrier density of…
The influence of size effects on the thermoelectric properties of thin platinum films is investigated and compared to the bulk. Structural properties, like the film thickness and the grain size, are varied. We correlate the electron mean…
