Thermoelectric power of high-Tc superconductors calculated from the electronic structure

J. G. Storey, J. L. Tallon, G. V. M. Williams

We have calculated the thermopower of the Bi2Sr2CuO6 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 superconductors using an ARPES-derived dispersion, with a model pseudogap, and a marginal-Fermi liquid scatte…
