Anomalous enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit by V co-doping in SrTiO3 — •Udo Schwingenschlögl and Mousumi Upadhyay-Kahaly — KAUST, PSE Division, Thuwal, Saudi Arabia

The effect of V co-doping in Nb-SrTiO3 and Pr-SrTiO3 is studied by full-potential density functional theory. While in Nb-SrTiO3 a high carrier density counteracts a high thermoelectric figure of merit, the trend is inverted by V co-doping. A similar but even more pronounced effect is found in Pr-SrTiO3. The mechanism leading to this behavior is explained in terms of a local spin-polarization introduced by the V ions. Our results indicate that magnetic co-doping can be a prominent tool for improving the thermoelectric figure of merit.
