摘要:

我们研究了La掺杂的SrTiO $_3$和Ba掺杂的KTaO $_3$中尽管具有金属导电性,但大的Seebeck系数的起源。计算了SrTiO $_3$和KTaO $_3$的能带结构,并利用Boltzmann方程计算了Seebeck系数。我们的结论是,在这些材料中的$t_{2g}$带的多重性是一个主要的起源,当在一个固定的总掺杂电子数比较,塞贝克系数,从而功率因数是在多带系统比在单带的,因为掺杂的电子带的数量{ \it每带}是较小的。我们还发现,第二最近邻跳跃积分,这通常有负值,在这些材料和破坏性的塞贝克效应,是几乎相似的KTaO $_3$和SrTiO $_3$,尽管前者的带宽较大。这可能是有利于Ba掺杂的KTaO $_3$中的热电势的另一个因素。

英文摘要:

We study the origin of the large Seebeck coefficient despite the metallic conductivity in the La-doped SrTiO$_3$ and Ba-doped KTaO$_3$. We calculate the band structure of SrTiO$_3$ and KTaO$_3$, from which the Seebeck coefficient is obtained using the Boltzmann's equation. We conclude that the multiplicity of the $t_{2g}$ bands in these materials is one major origin of the good thermoelectric property in that when compared at a fixed total number of doped electrons, the Seebeck coefficient and thus the power factor are larger in multiple band systems than in single band ones because the number of doped electron bands {\it per band} is smaller in the former. We also find that the second nearest neighbor hopping integral, which generally has negative values in these materials and works destructively against the Seebeck effect, is nearly similar between KTaO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$ despite the larger band width in the former. This can be another factor favorable for thermopower in the Ba-doped KTaO$_3$.
