Modeling of the Thermoelectric Power Factor in Quasi-One-Dimensional Organic Crystals

Thermoelectric power factor is modeled in a series of highly conducting quasi-one-dimensional organic crystals in order to investigate the role of interference of two most important electron-phonon interactions. It is shown that due to the mutual compensation of interaction mechanisms as a consequence of interference, simultaneous increase of electrical conductivity and thermopower can be achieved. Values of the thermoelectric power factor of the order of 600muW/cmK² are predicted
