Thermoelectric Transport Properties

Using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with the Boltzmann transport theory, we investigate the effect of strain on the electronic and thermoelectric transport properties of the 1T-TiSe2 monolayer, a two-dimensional (2D) material, and compare it with the bulk phase within the PBE, LDA+U and HSE exchange–correlation functionals.

The Stability

Abstract Heusler compounds are a tuneable class of material with a cubic crystal structure that can serve as a platform to study the topological phase of a material. These materials have numerous technological and scientific applications. So, in the present work, the mechanical, thermodynamical, and thermoelectric properties of LaAuPb in the topological phase have been reported by using density functional theory and Boltzmann transport theory. LaAuPb is mechanically stable, and the Poisson ratio reveals its ductile nature. The specific heat of the proposed compound at room temperature is 73.94 J K-1 mol-1 at constant volume. Debye’s temperature is estimated to be 188.64K. Moreover, the lattice thermal conductivity of the compound is 14.64 W/mK and 3.66 W/mK at 300K and 1200K, respectively. Good thermoelectric response of LaAuPb can be confirmed by its high value of the figure of merit (0.46) at 1200K. Hence, it is a potential material for thermoelectric applications. This work will help future researchers to better understand the stability, nature and behaviour of LaAuPb in material fabrication.

We studied the crystal and electronic structures of LaOBiSSe and LaOBiSeS using first-principles calculations and confirmed that the LaOBiSSe (S atoms on the top of BiCh2 layer and Se atoms in the inner of it) is the stable structure. Then we calculate the thermoelectric properties of LaOBiSSe using the standard Boltzmann transport theory. The in-plane thermoelectric performance are better than that along the c-axis in this n-type material. The in-plane power factor [Formula: see text] of n-type LaOBiSSe is as high as 12 [Formula: see text]W/cmK2 at 900 K with figure of merit ZT = 0.53 and [Formula: see text]. The ZT maximum appears around [Formula: see text] in a wide temperature region. The results indicate that LaOBiSSe is a 2D material with good thermal performance in n-type doping.

The density functional theory calculations are applied for C20 cage fullerenes. Furan, pyrole, and phenylvinyle monomers are made to interact with a C20 cage at the same C position. An electric field was applied with varying strength. Computations were carried out for all cases at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The structure, energetic, and relative stabilities of the compounds were compared with each other and analyzed. In addition, the electric field dependent and independent electronic transition spectra of the proposed stable neutral C20 cage are investigated.

We present first-principles calculations of the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of Gd-doped [Formula: see text] based on the density functional theory within [Formula: see text] schemes. It is found that Gd atom favors substituting for Al site. Compared with undoped [Formula: see text], the Gd-doped [Formula: see text] has become an indirect band gap semiconductor of reduced band gap. The magnetic moment [Formula: see text] per molecule mainly comes from Gd ion with little contribution from the Ga, Al and N atoms. It is confirmed that the ferromagnetic configuration is stable for [Formula: see text]. It is found also that there is hybridization between the forbital of the Gd atom and the [Formula: see text] orbital of the N atom.

The adsorption of Cl on the γ-TiAl (100) surface is studied by using the first-principles calculations based on the density-functional theory. The calculated result show that the most stable site for Cl adsorption is the four-fold-hollow site denoted by HFa. The binding energy per Cl atom increases when the coverage is more than 0.75ML. The Cl atoms are more likely to interact with the Ti atoms than the Al atoms from not only the electronic structure but also the atomic structure.
