Ab intio description of thermoelectric properties based on the Boltzmann theory

Hinsche, N. F.; Hölzer, M.; Ernst, A.; Mertig, I.; Zahn, P.

Thermoelectric properties are calculated within a quasi-classical transport theory based on the Boltzmann equation.
We consider Bi2Te3 as bulk material and in multilayered structures. Directional anisotropies of the transport coefficients and changes caused by the layered structure with respect to the bulk materials are discussed in detail.

Keywords: Thermoelectric transport; Bi2Te3; multilayers; power factor; figure of merit; strain; directional anisotropy
