Enhancement of the Na$_x$CoO$_2$ thermopower due to electronic correlations

P. Wissgott, A. Toschi, H. Usui, K. Kuroki, K. Held

摘要:

利用局域密度近似和动力学平均场论的合并,我们展示了电子关联如何增加Na $_{0.7}$ CoO $_2$的热电势的200%。新发现的机制是(准)电子和空穴远离费米能级的不对称位移,同时相应的(群)速度的不对称性。在能带结构和相关工程中利用这种效应可能会导致热电优值的大幅增加。

英文摘要:

Using the merger of local density approximation and dynamical mean field theory, we show how electronic correlations increase the thermopower of Na$_{0.7}$CoO$_2$ by 200%. The newly revealed mechanism is an asymmetric shift of (quasi) electrons and holes away from the Fermi level, concurrent with an asymmetry of the respective (group) velocities. Exploiting this effect in bandstructure and correlation engineering may lead to a substantial increase of the thermoelectric figure of merit.
