Résumé :

In metallic ruthenium oxides, transport coefficients such as the Seebeck effect S can be described considering a coexistence of metallic carriers together with localized magnetic moment contributions enhancing S[1]. The aim of this work was to investigate the See- beck coefficient in several ruthenium oxides presenting different electronic and magnetic backgrounds to better understand this coexistence effect. Different structures have been investigated: rutile, hollandites[2], R-type ferrites[3] and perovskites. These results have been compared to well known SrRuO3 and Sr2RuO4 and provide evidence of high T Seebeck coefficient protected from band structure considerations in ruthenium oxides. Optimization of chemical composition or process for substituted-GeTe using active learning assisted by machine learning and Bayesian optimization[4, 5]. Random Forest algorithm based on elementary descriptors only has demonstrated relatively good performances in modeling the thermoelectric properties for ternary and quaternary substituted-GeTe and also for Cu2ZnSnS4 Kesterite. Prediction for proposed chemical compositions or process parameters targeting optimized thermoelectric properties.
