Band structure and thermopower of doped YCuO2

Journal Article · · Physical Review B
First-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport theory are used to analyze the thermopower and related properties of p-type delafossite structure YCuO{sub 2}. We find that the electrical transport properties are only mildly anisotropic in spite of the layered crystal structure and that this compound has high thermopowers indicative of a material that may be a good thermoelectric.
