Carrier concentration, Hall mobility, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity of Nb-doped SrTiO_3 epitaxial films were experimentally evaluated at 1000 K with an aid of theoretical analysis. ZT of Nb-doped SrTiO_3 increases with Nb concentration and it reaches ~ 0.37 (20% Nb doped), which is the largest value among n-type oxide semiconductors ever reported.}, pages = {092108--092108}, title = {Large thermoelectric performance of heavily Nb-doped SrTiO_3 epitaxial film at high temperature}, volume = {87}, year = {2005} }
