Negatively enhanced thermopower near a Van Hove singularity in electron-doped SrRuO
arXiv:2404.11300 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.023222
Abstract
The layered perovskite SrRuO serves as a model material of the two-dimensional (2D) Fermi liquid but also exhibits various emergent phenomena including the non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior under external perturbations such as uniaxial pressure and chemical substitutions. Here we present the thermoelectric transport of electron-doped system SrLaRuO, in which a filling-induced Lifshitz transition occurs at the Van Hove singularity (VHS) point of . We find that the sign of the low-temperature thermopower becomes negative only near the VHS point, where the NFL behavior has been observed in the earlier work. This observation is incompatible with either a numerical calculation within a constant relaxation-time approximation or a toy-model calculation for the 2D Lifshitz transition adopting an elastic carrier scattering. As a promising origin of the observed negatively enhanced thermopower, we propose a skewed NFL state, in which an inelastic scattering with a considerable odd-frequency term plays a crucial role to negatively enhance the thermopower.
