Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Electrical and thermoelectrical transport measurements under pressure on the elemental semiconductor black phosphorus have unveiled the characteristic evolution of Seebeck coefficient in each conduction regime. The results help basic understanding of thermoelectricity in semiconductors. The enhancement of Seebeck coefficient has been observed at a temperature where the hydrodynamic phonon contribution is most prominent. In the semimetallic region under pressure, it is uncovered that the change in the carrier scattering mechanism provides a great impact on the thermoelectric response.
