Thermoelectric Power and Hall Effect in Correlated Metals and Doped Mott-Hubbard Insulators: DMFT approximation

Abstract

We present comparative theoretical investigation of thermoelectric power and Hall effect in the Hubbard model for correlated metal and Mott insulator (considered as prototype cuprate superconductor) for different concentrations of current carriers. Analysis is performed within standard DMFT approximation. For Mott insulator we consider the typical case of partial filling of the lower Hubbard band (hole doping). We calculate the dependence of thermopower on doping level and determine the critical concentration of carriers corresponding to sign change of thermopower. An anomalous dependence of thermopower on temperature is obtained significantly different from linear temperature dependence typical for the usual metals. The role of disorder scattering is analyzed on qualitative level. The comparison with similar studies of the Hall effect shows, that breaking of electron - hole symmetry leads to the appearance of the relatively large interval of band - fillings (close to the half - filling) where thermopower and Hall effects have different signs. We propose a certain scheme allowing to determine the number of carriers from ARPES data and perform semi - quantitative estimate of both thermopower and Hall coefficient using the usual DFT calculations of electronic spectrum.
