Ashish Kumar, Saurabh Singh, Ashutosh Patel, K. Asokan, D. Kanjilal

摘要:

本工作研究了较少探索的n型GAN半导体的热电性能相结合的实验和计算工具。实验测量了GAN外延薄膜的Seebeck系数,在77 K到650 K的宽温度范围内,以~10 K为步长,覆盖低温和高温区域,作为载流子浓度2 × 1016、2 × 1017、4 × 1017和8 × 1017 cm-3的函数。在室温下测得的Seebeck系数在最低浓度为4 × 1016 cm-3时最高,为-374 microV/K,并在幅度上单调下降随着样品的载流子浓度的增加,样品的载流子浓度分别为约327.6微V/K、约295微V/K、约246微V/K(对于2 × 1017、4 × 1017、8 × 1017 cm-3)。Seebeck系数在整个研究温度范围内保持为负,表明电子是主要的载流子。为了理解温度依赖性行为,我们还进行了电子结构,和输运系数的计算,使用trans-blaha修改的贝克-约翰逊(TB-mBJ)势,和半经典玻尔兹曼输运理论实现WIEN 2k和BoltzTraP代码,分别。在计算中使用实验观察到的载流子浓度。在260 ~ 625 K温度范围内,在恒定弛豫时间近似下得到的Seebeck系数的理论值与实验值吻合得很好。

英文摘要:

The present work investigates the less explored thermoelectric properties of n-type GaN semiconductors by combined both the experimental and computational tools. Seebeck coefficients of epitaxial thin films of GaN were experimentally measured in the wide temperature range from 77 K to 650 K in steps of ~10 K covering both low and high-temperature regimes as a function of carrier concentration 2 x1016, 2 x 1017, 4 x 1017 and 8 x 1017 cm-3. The measured Seebeck coefficient at room temperature was found to be highest, -374 microV/K, at the lowest concentration of 4 x 1016 cm-3 and decreases in magnitude monotonically (-327.6 microV/K, -295 microV/K, -246 microV/K for 2 x 1017, 4 x 1017, 8 x 1017 cm-3, respectively) as the carrier concentration of samples increases. Seebeck coefficient remains negative in the entire temperature range under study indicate that electrons are dominant carriers. To understand the temperature-dependent behavior, we have also carried out the electronic structure, and transport coefficients calculations by using Tran-Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential, and semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory implemented in WIEN2k and BoltzTraP code, respectively. The experimentally observed carrier concentrations were used in the calculations. The estimated results obtained under constant relaxation time approximations provide a very good agreement between theoretical and experimental data of Seebeck coefficients in the temperature range of 260 to 625 K.
