Thermoelectric properties of the degenerate Hubbard model
arXiv:cond-mat/0109530 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.65.075102
Abstract
We investigate the thermoelectric properties of a system near a pressure driven Mott-Hubbard transition. The dependence of the thermopower and the figure of merit on pressure and temperature within a degenerate Hubbard model for integer filling n=1 is calculated using dynamical mean field theory. Quantum Monte Carlo method is used to solve the impurity model. Obtained results can qualitatively explain thermoelectric properties of various strongly correlated materials.
