摘要
Thermoelectric properties of cubic (C) and tetragonal (T) BaTiO3 (BTO) and PbTiO3 (PTO) are investigated using density functional theory together with semiclassical Boltzmann's transport theory. Both electron and hole doped BTO and PTO are considered in 300-500 K temperature range. We observed that C-BTO has larger power factor(PF) when doped with holes, whereas n-type carrier concentration in C-PTO has larger PF. Comparing both BTO and PTO, C-PTO has larger figure of merit ZT. Tetragonal distortion reduces the Seebeck coefficient S in n-doped PTO, and the electronic structures revealed that such reduction in S is mainly caused by the increase in the optical band gaps (Gamma - Gamma and Gamma-X).
