Poulomi Chakraborty, Aaron Hui, Grigory Bednik, Brian Skinner

AI总结:

该研究针对节线半金属的磁热电势展开,计算了其任意温场下的塞贝克和能斯特系数,发现强磁场下会产生与磁场线性相关且低温下不随温度变化的大热电势,为高效低温热电材料研发提供新方向。

摘要:

寻找具有大热电势的材料具有重要的实际意义。近期研究证实,Dirac(狄拉克)和Weyl(外尔)半金属表现出优异的热电性能,尤其是在处于量子化磁场中时。本文研究了节线半金属中是否会出现类似的增强效应,这类材料的导带和价带在动量空间中沿一条线或环相接。我们计算了任意温度和磁场下的Seebeck(塞贝克)系数和Nernst(能斯特)系数,发现了大量不同的标度区域。最显著的是,当沿直线节线方向或节环平面施加足够强的磁场时,态的高度简并性会产生大的、与B呈线性关系的热电势,该热电势即使在低温下也与温度无关。我们的结果表明,节线半金属可能为高效低温热电材料提供重要机遇。

英文摘要:

The search for materials with large thermopower is of great practical interest. Dirac and Weyl semimetals have recently proven to exhibit superior thermoelectric properties, particularly when subjected to a quantizing magnetic field. Here we consider whether a similar enhancement arises in nodal line semimetals, for which the conduction and valence band meet at a line or ring in momentum space. We compute the Seebeck and Nernst coefficients for arbitrary temperature and magnetic field and we find a wealth of different scaling regimes. Most strikingly, when a sufficiently strong magnetic field is applied along the direction of a straight nodal line or in the plane of a nodal ring, the large degeneracy of states leads to a large, linear-in-$B$ thermopower that is temperature-independent even at low temperatures. Our results suggest that nodal line semimetals may offer significant opportunity for efficient, low-temperature thermoelectrics.
