Quasi-two-dimensional thermoelectricity in SnSe
英文摘要：
Stannous selenide is a layered semiconductor that is a polar analogue of black phosphorus, and of great interest as a thermoelectric material. Unusually, hole doped SnSe supports a large Seebeck coefficient at high conductivity, which has not been explained to date. Angle resolved photo-emission spectroscopy, optical reflection spectroscopy and magnetotransport measurements reveal a multiple-valley valence band structure and a quasi two-dimensional dispersion, realizing a Hicks-Dresselhaus thermoelectric contributing to the high Seebeck coefficient at high carrier density. We further demonstrate that the hole accumulation layer in exfoliated SnSe transistors exhibits a field effect mobility of up to $250~\mathrm{cm^2/Vs}$ at $T=1.3~\mathrm{K}$. SnSe is thus found to be a high quality, quasi two-dimensional semiconductor ideal for thermoelectric applications.
