Ohta et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 87, 092108 (2005)], the electrical conductivity (δ), carrier concentration (n_e), Hall mobility (μHall), and Seebeck coefficient (S) of heavily Nb-doped TiO2 (anatase) epitaxial films were measured at high temperatures (300–900 K). The epitaxial films were grown on the (100)-face of LaAlO3 single-crystalline substrates by a pulsed-laser deposition technique at 800 °C. The carrier effective mass (m*) of the anatase TiO2 epitaxial films was ~1m0, which is an order of magnitude smaller than that of Nb-doped SrTiO3 (~10m0). The estimated TE power factor (S^2 δ) of the ~2%-Nb-doped anatase TiO2 film (n_e~5 ×10^20 cm^−3) was ~2.5×10^−4 Wm^−1 K^−2 at 900 K, which is approximately 15% of the 20%-Nb-doped SrTiO3 (1.5×10^−3 Wm^−1 K^−2). The present findings will help establish a future TE material design concept for Ti-based metal oxides.}, pages = {096105--096105}, title = {Carrier generation and transport properties of heavily Nb-doped anatase TiO2 epitaxial films at high temperatures}, volume = {100}, year = {2006} }
