Abstract

This project aims to study the structural stability, the electronic and vibrational properties, as well as the transport properties, such as electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and the contributions of electrons and phonons to the thermal conductivity of materials for thermoelectric applications, including: chalcogenide compounds IV-VI, SnSe and SnS, and V-VI, As2Se3 and As2S3, using ab initio calculations.
