First Principle Study of Thermoelectric Properties of SnSb Alloy

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In this study we have performed first principle calculations to study the electronic and its resulting thermoelectric properties of SnSb alloy within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) is employed to model the exchange and correlation of KohnSham Eigen states. The DOS for SnSb around Fermi level is about 1.2 states/eV. From the band structure it is observed that there is no electronic band gap for SnSb at Fermi level which indicates the metallicbehavior of SnSb. The thermoelectric properties of SnSb are calculated using BoltzTraP code based on semi-classical Boltzmann transport equations. The calculated value of zT of SnSb is 0.48 at 200 K.
