Abstract
Herein the authors propose a compositional thermoelectric phase diagram, which includes the density of states effective mass (md*) carrier relaxation time (τ), and thermoelectric power factor (S2σ, where S and σ are Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity) for high-quality epitaxial films composed of 20%-Nb-doped CaTiO3–SrTiO3–BaTiO3 solid solutions [(Ca,Sr,Ba)(Ti0.8Nb0.2)O3]. The md* values almost proportionally increase with the in-plane lattice parameter of (Ca,Sr,Ba)(Ti0.8Nb0.2)O3 epitaxial film, while the τ values drastically decrease when Ca and/or Ba are substituted for Sr in Sr(Ti0.8Nb0.2)O3, indicating that the Sr-site substitution negatively affects the thermoelectric performance of Nb-doped SrTiO3.
