摘要
We present a method of modeling transport coefficients from first-principles calculations. We introduce the transport distribution that contains all electronic information and from which transport coefficients can easily be calculated. We use this method to analyze Bi2Te3 and calculate its transport coefficients for a comparison with experiment. The transport distribution gives an improved insight into the relationship between transport properties and electronic structure and is a valuable tool in the search for improved thermoelectric materials.
