Thermoelectric power of monoclinic FeMoO4 nanorods synthesized by the hydrothermal method is investigated.
The Seebeck coefficient and conductivity of the film with 300 m in thickness made of the FeMoO4 nanorods
are measured at room temperature, indicating its Seebeck coefficient (S) of −351.85 V/K and conductivity ()
of 2.12×10−3 S/m. Electronic density of states (DOS) is discussed by using the first-principle density functional
method within the generalized gradient approximation. The high Seebeck effect is probably due to greater
density of states and the highly asymmetric of the DOS near Fermi level.
