Colossal Seebeck effect enhanced by quasi-ballistic phonons dragging massive electrons in FeSb2
Phonon transport is an essential property of thermoelectric materials. Although the phonon carries heat, which reduces the thermoelectric efficiency, it contributes positively to the Seebeck coefficient S through the phonon-drag effect, as typified by the high-purity semiconductors, which show fairly large S at cryogenic temperatures. Although such a large S is attractive in terms of Peltier co...
متن کاملInterfaces of correlated electron systems: proposed mechanism for colossal electroresistance.
Mott's metal-insulator transition at an interface due to band bending is studied by the density matrix renormalization group approach. We show that the result can be recovered by a simple modification of the conventional Poisson's equation approach used in semiconductor heterojunctions. A novel mechanism of colossal electroresistance is proposed, which incorporates the hysteretic behavior of th...
متن کاملStructural Dynamics in the Charge Density Wave Compound 1T-TaS2
This Diploma thesis is centered around the study of the structural dynamics in charge density wave (CDW) compounds. Owing to their quasi low dimensionality, CDWs present an ideal model system to investigate the delicate interplay between various degrees of freedom like spins, electrons, lattice, etc., common to macroscopic quantum phenomena such as high-temperature-superconductivity and colossa...
متن کاملTuning the crystallinity of thermoelectric Bi(2)Te(3) nanowire arrays grown by pulsed electrodeposition.
Arrays of thermoelectric bismuth telluride (Bi(2)Te(3)) nanowires were grown into porous anodic alumina (PAA) membranes prepared by a two-step anodization. Bi(2)Te(3) nanowire arrays were deposited by galvanostatic, potentiostatic and pulsed electrodeposition from aqueous solution at room temperature. Depending on the electrodeposition method and as a consequence of different growth mechanisms,...
