Multiple-valley effect on modulation of thermoelectric properties of n-type ZrCuSiAs-structure oxyantimonides LnTSbO (Ln= lanthanides and T=Zn, Mn)

Thermoelectric properties of n-type LnTSbO (Ln = lanthanides and T = Zn, Mn) were firstly investigated by the first-principles method and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. The results show that a multiple-valley structure appears around the bottom of conduction band. The valley with a high band d...
