Abstract:
Pressure dependences of the thermopower and electrical resistivity of the La0.75Ca0.25MnO3 manganite are measured in the pressure range 0–20 GPa at room temperature. The absolute value of the thermopower increases in the pressure range 0–3 GPa and decreases at higher pressures. At the same time, the electrical resistivity decreases over the entire pressure range. It is found that the competing effect of the closing of the bandgap, which is determined by the activation energy for the thermopower, and the pressure broadening of the d bands is the cause of the observed behavior of the thermoelectric properties of La0.75Ca0.25MnO3, which is untypical for the majority of dielectrics and semiconductors with single-band unipolar conductivity in the absence of phase transitions and is accompanied by a change in the sign of the pressure coefficient of the thermopower. The interrelation between the magnetic and thermoelectric properties of manganites under pressure is analyzed in the framework of the double exchange model. The causes of the considerable decrease in the pressure coefficients of the insulator-metal transition and Curie temperatures under pressure experimentally observed in manganites are discussed.
