Improved thermoelectric power factor in metal-based superlattices.
In this paper we present a detailed theory of electron and thermoelectric transport perpendicular to heterostructure superlattices. This nonlinear transport regime above barriers is also called heterostructure thermionic emission. We show that metal-based superlattices with tall barriers can achieve a large effective thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT > 5 at room temperature). A key parameter t...
متن کاملThermoelectric Power Factor of Ultra-Narrow Silicon Nanowires
The thermoelectric performance of materials is determined by the figure of merit ZT=σS2/(κe+κl), where σ is the electrical conductivity, S is the Seebeck coefficient and κe and κl are the electronic and lattice contributions to the thermal conductivity, respectively. The interrelation between these quantities has traditionally kept ZT low, around unity. Nanomaterials have recently attracted sig...
متن کاملThermoelectric Power Factor of Low Dimensional Silicon Nanowires
We analyze the thermoelectric power factor in ultra-narrow low-dimensional silicon nanowires (NWs) by employing atomistic considerations for the electronic structures and linearized Boltzmann transport theory. We consider different transport orientations and both n-type and p-type NWs. We show that the NW properties are highly anisotropic, especially for p-type, and as the diameter is reduced f...
متن کاملEnhancing the thermoelectric power factor with highly mismatched isoelectronic doping.
We investigate the effect of O impurities on the thermoelectric properties of ZnSe from a combination of first-principles and analytic calculations. It is demonstrated that dilute amounts of O impurities introduce peaks in the density of states (DOS) above the conduction band minimum, and that the charge density near the DOS peaks is substantially attracted toward O atoms due to their high elec...
