Meanwhile, the band structure of GeAs exhibits a relatively large dispersion near the valence-band maximum in the Z –V direction while it is rather flat in the Z –Γ direction, which is highly desirable for good thermoelectric performance. The calculated partial charge density distribution also reveals that GeAs possesses anisotropic electrical conductivity. Based on the semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory, the anisotropic transport properties are observed, and the optimal doping concentrations are estimated. The temperature dependence transport properties of p-type GeAs are compared with the experimental data in good agreement, and the theoretical figure-of-merit ZT has been predicted as well.展开更多
