Thermoelectric Properties of Transition-Metal Oxide Thin Films and Superlattices (G08)

G8项目利用薄膜技术以及基于密度泛函理论和玻尔兹曼输运计算的表征和理论指导探索，了解和优化选定的过渡金属氧化物薄膜和超晶格的热电性能。特别是，我们将探讨外延应变和氧掺入对模型化合物热功率的影响。进一步的研究将集中在静电掺杂、约束和晶体取向的影响上。

Project G8 uses thin-film technology and characterization and theory-guided exploration based on density functional theory and Boltzmann transport calculations to understand and optimize the thermoelectric performance of selected transition metal oxide thin films and superlattices. In particular, we will explore the influence of epitaxial strain and oxygen incorporation on the thermopower of model compounds. Further research will focus on the effect electrostatic doping, confinement and the crystallographic orientation.
