Thermopower of SnTe from Boltzmann Transport Calculations

Abstract

The doping and temperature dependent thermopower of SnTe is calculated from the first principles band structure using Boltzmann transport theory. We find that the $p$-type thermopower is inferior to PbTe consistent with experimental observations, but that the $n$-type thermopower is substantially more favorable.
