Full TextAbstract
Electronic and thermoelectric properties of pure In2O3 and In1.5T0.5O3 (T = Sc, Y) alloys including the band gap, the electrical and thermal conductivity, Seebeck coeffi- cient and figure of merit have been investigated using semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory. The calculated results indicated that substituting indium atoms by these dopants have a significant influence on the electronic properties of alloyed In2O3 crystals. Substitution of Sc and Y atoms for In atoms increases the band gaps and Seebeck coefficient. The intrinsic relations between electronic structures and the transport performances of In2O3 and its alloys with Sc and Y are also discussed.
