摘要：

We have investigated the effect of pressure on the structural, electronic and thermoelectric properties of Sr5Sn2As6 zintl compound using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method and the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof-generalized gradient approximation and modified Becke-Johnson exchange correlation potentials. The anisotropic crystal structure is observed in the z-direction. The results show that the lattice parameters decrease and the size of the band gap increases with increasing pressure. The thermoelectric efficiency along the z-direction is better than the x-and y-directions with a maximum ZT value of 0.993 in 7.1 GPa. P-type doping of Sr5Sn2As6 has better ZT than n-type doping.
