摘要：

A comprehensive analysis has been made of the n-type Mg2Si1- x Sn (x) (0.25 <= x <= 0.75) compounds by the first principles calculation method. The calculated band structures in n-type Mg2Si1- x Sn (x) show the conduction band convergence directly. This convergence in energy at x = 0.625 can enhance the Seebeck coefficient of the solid solution in comparison with other Sn contents. The Seebeck coefficient of Mg2Si0.375Sn0.625 could reach - 246 mu V K-1 at the optimal doping density of 3 x 10(20) cm(-3). The enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient in the Mg2Si0.375Sn0.625 alloy results in a higher power factor of 6.2 mW m(-1) K-2 at T = 550 K, and the predicted figure of merit is 1.53 at T = 700 K. Additionally, the ZT values can be maintained larger than 1.4 in a wide temperature range from 550 K to 800 K.
