Magnetic Field‐Enhanced Thermoelectric Performance in Dirac Semimetal Cd3As2 Crystals with Different Carrier Concentrations

Abstract: The magneto‐thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in crystals of the topological Dirac semimetal Cd3As2 with different carrier concentrations is studied. The ZTs for all the crystals increase with the temperature and show maxima at high temperatures. Meanwhile, the temperatures corresponding to the ZT maxima increase with the carrier concentration. The limit to the improvement in ZT(T) at high temperature could be related to the unusual large enhancement in thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures. The bipo… Show more

[54] This low value of sound velocity, which is generally related to the weak chemical bonding, is one of the reasons leading to the intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity of YbMnSb 2 .…”

“…Topological materials are a promising platform for a wide range of next‐generation technologies. [ 1–16 ] In topological Dirac or Weyl semimetals, symmetry‐protected Dirac or Weyl nodes host relativistic fermions with low‐energy excitations that can be described by Dirac or Weyl equations, respectively. [ 4,5 ] In addition, topological nodal‐line semimetals exhibiting linear band crossings along a 1D loop have also been discovered.…”

“…For instance, in the Dirac semimetal Cd 3 As 2 [19], which has ultrahigh carrier mobility [20], anomalous magneto-Seebeck and Nernst effects were recently observed [12,14], and the relationship between these anomalous transport properties with Berry curvature was discussed. Moreover, the magnetic-field-induced giant enhancement in both longitudinal and transverse zT values were found in Cd 3 As 2 single crystals near room temperature [11,21,22]. NbP, one of the first type-I Weyl semimetals to be discovered [23][24][25], has recently attracted attention as a material platform for exploring the Weyl physics-related thermoelectric transport properties.…”
