Thermoelectric Figure of Merit of Strongly Correlated Superlattice Semiconductors
arXiv:cond-mat/9807234 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.59.R15590
Abstract
We solved the Anderson Lattice Hamiltonian to get the energy bands of a strongly correlated semiconductor by using slave boson mean field theory. The transport properties were calculated in the relaxation-time approximation,and the thermoelectric figure of merit was obtained for the strongly correlated semiconductor and its superlattice structures. We found that at room temperature can reach nearly 2 for the quantum wire lattice structure.We believe that it is possible to find high values of thermoelectric figure of merit from strongly correlated semiconductor superlattice systems.
