    Enhanced thermoelectric response of hole-doped La2_2NiO4+δ_{4+\delta} by ab initio calculations

    Thermoelectric properties of the system La2_2NiO4+δ_{4+\delta} have been studied ab initio. Large Seebeck coefficient values are predicted for the parent compound, and to some extent remain in the hole-doped metallic phase, accompanied of an increase in the conductivity. This system, due to its layered structure would be a suitable candidate for an improvement of its thermoelectric figure of merit by nanostructurization in thin films, that has already been shown to increase the electrical conductivity (σ\sigma). Our calculations show that in the region around La2_2NiO4.05_{4.05} the system has a large thermopower at high temperatures and also a substantially increased σ\sigma. Films grown with this low-doping concentration will show an optimal relationship between thermopower and σ\sigma. This result is obtained for various exchange-correlation schemes (correlated, uncorrelated and parameter-free) that we use to analyze the electronic structure of the hole-doped compound.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
