摘要
We have measured Seebeck coefficient (S) of FeTe0.5Se0.5 superconducting sample from 10 to 300 K. The variation of Seebeck coefficient with temperature of this system was found to be very anomalous, and the overall experimental observation of the S(T) was studied in the outline of a narrow-band model. In high-temperature region, the Seebeck coefficient is almost independent of temperature. Further, from the study of high-temperature magnitude of S, sample undergoes a change in sign in the Seebeck coefficient, wherein, appearance of a negative peak around 22 K and subsequently, its Seebeck coefficient goes to zero in the superconducting transition temperature regime around 11 to 13 K. It is revealed that the bandwidth and a small asymmetry involved in narrow bands give a realistic explanation to the anomalous temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient of FeTe0.5Se0.5 system.
