英文摘要：

The iron-oxypnictide compounds, recently reported as a new class of superconductors when appropriately doped, exhibit large Seebeck coefficients, of the order of -100 microV/K, while keeping good electrical conductivity. Their power factor shows a peak at low temperatures, suggesting possible applications of these materials in thermoelectric cooling modules in the liquid nitrogen temperature range.

Upper critical field, superconducting energy gaps, and Seebeck coefficient in La0.8Th0.2OFeAs

We report the synthesis and characterization of a new electron-doped La-oxypnictide superconductor by partial substitution of lanthanum by thorium. The superconducting transition temperature at about 30.3 K was observed in La0.8Th0.2OFeAs which is the highest in La-based oxypnictide superconductors synthesized at ambient pressure. We find that the decrease in lattice parameters with Th doping in LaOFeAs is more drastic as compared to that obtained by high pressure (6 GPa) synthesis of oxygen deficient LaOFeAs. The resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements yield an upper critical fie…

Comparative study on the thermoelectric effect of parent oxypnictides La$T$AsO ($T$ = Fe, Ni)

The thermopower and Nernst effect were investigated for undoped parent compounds LaFeAsO and LaNiAsO. Both thermopower and Nernst signal in iron-based LaFeAsO are significantly larger than those in nickel-based LaNiAsO. Furthermore, abrupt changes in both thermopower and Nernst effect are observed below the structural phase transition temperature and spin-density wave (SDW) type antiferromagnetic (AFM) order temperature in Fe-based LaFeAsO. On the other hand, Nernst effect is very small in the Ni-based LaNiAsO and it is weakly temperature-dependent, reminiscent of the case in normal metals. We…

Structure and Physical properties of New layered oxypnictides $Sr_4Sc_2O_6M_2As_2$ (M=Fe and Co)

We have successfully prepared the new layered oxypnictides $Sr_4Sc_2O_6M_2As_2$ (M=Fe and Co). They adopt the tetragonal structure, being the same as that of $Sr_4Sc_2O_6Fe_2P_2$. The lattice constants are a=0.4045 nm and c= 0.5802 nm for M=Fe, and a=0.4045 nm and c=1.5695 nm for M=Co, respectively. Their transport and magnetic properties have been systematically studied. The temperature dependence of Hall coefficient and thermoelectric powder for $Sr_4Sc_2O_6Fe_2As_2$ compound show complicated behavior, similar to that of iron-based parent compounds LnOFeAs and $BaFe_2As_2$. It suggests that …

Thermoelectricity of URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$: giant Nernst effect in the hidden-order state

We present a study of Nernst and Seebeck coefficients in the heavy-fermion compound URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$, which hosts a phase transition of unsettled origin. A giant Nernst signal of unprecedented magnitude was found to emerge in the ordered state. Moreover, our analysis of the Seebeck and Hall data indicates that the ordering leads to a sudden increase in the entropy per itinerant electron and to a drastic decrease in the scattering rate.

Evidence of spin-density-wave order in RFeAsO from measurements of thermoelectric power

Data on the magneto-thermopower and specific heat of three compounds belonging to '1111' oxypnictides family are reported. One specimen (SmAsFeO0.8F0.2) is a superconductor with Tc = 53 K, while two others (SmAsFeO and NdAsFeO) are nonsuperconducting parent compounds. Our results confirm that spin density wave (SDW) order is present in SmAsFeO and NdAsFeO. In these two samples a strict connection between the thermoelectric power and electronic specific heat is found in the vicinity of SDW transition, what indicates that the chemical potential of charge carriers strongly depends on temperature …

Thermoelectric Properties of YBa2Cu3O7-(La,Ca)MnO3 Superlattices

We report measurements of the thermoelectric power and electrical resistivity of superlattices composed of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O(7-delta) (YBCO) and the metallic ferromagnet La(2/3)Ca(1/3)MnO3 (LCMO) with individual layer thicknesses between 5 and 50 nm. Whereas YBCO and LCMO reference films prepared under the same conditions exhibit negative Seebeck coefficients, in excellent agreement with data on bulk compounds of identical composition, those of all superlattices are positive, regardless of the individual layer thickness. Having ruled out lattice strain and incomplete…

Analysis of charge transfer mechanism on (Ba1-xNdxCuO2+d)2/(CaCuO2)n superconducting superlattices by thermoelectric power measurements

We have investigated the charge transfer mechanism in artificial superlattices by Seebeck effect measurements. Such a technique allows a precise determination of the amount of charge transferred on each CuO2 plane. A systematic characterization of thermoelectric power in (BaCuO2+d)2/(CaCuO2)n and (Ba0.9Nd0.1CuO2+d)2/(CaCuO2)n superlattices demonstrates that electrical charge distributes uniformly among the CuO2 planes in the Ca-block. The differences observed in the Seebeck effect behavior between the Nd-doped and undoped superlattices are ascribed to the different metallic character of the Ba…

A hybrid superconducting quantum dot acting as an efficient charge and spin Seebeck diode

We propose a highly efficient thermoelectric diode device built from the coupling of a quantum dot with a normal or ferromagnetic electrode and a superconducting reservoir. The current shows a strongly nonlinear behavior in the forward direction (positive thermal gradients) while it almost vanishes in the backward direction (negative thermal gradients). Our discussion is supported by a gauge-invariant current-conserving transport theory accounting for electron-electron interactions inside the dot. We find that the diode behavior is greatly tuned with external gate potentials, Zeeman splittings…

Thermoelectric response of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{0.6}$Se$_{0.4}$: evidence for strong correlation and low carrier density

We present a study of the Seebeck and Nernst coefficients of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ extended up to 28 T. The large magnitude of the Seebeck coefficient in the optimally doped sample tracks a remarkably low normalized Fermi temperature, which, like other correlated superconductors, is only one order of magnitude larger than T$_c$. We combine our data with other experimentally measured coefficients of the system to extract a set of self-consistent parameters, which identify Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{0.6}$Se$_{0.4}$ as a low-density correlated superconductor barely in the clean limit. The system is su…
