Towards an ab initio calculation of elemental thermocouple output
A simple model is presented for the calculation of the temperature dependence of the thermopower of metals on an ab initio basis, which includes an accurate calculation of the electronic density of states. The aim is to predict the temperature dependence of the electrom...
