Substitution Effect of Ba on Transport Properties of the Layered Cobalt Oxypnictide (Sr\(_{1-x}\)Ba\(_x\))\(_2\)ScCoPO\(_3\) with CoP Layers
摘要
We investigated the transport properties of Ba-doped cobalt oxypnictides, (Sr
The resistivity measurements revealed metallic behavior for all samples. While the absolute value of S (|S|) was larger than that of the undoped sample (x = 0), it showed no significant dependence on the Ba concentration x. Furthermore, the sign of S remained negative without any inversion down to 20 K. These findings indicate that structural expansion does not significantly alter the multi-band electronic structure near the Fermi level. We conclude that direct electronic modification of the conduction layer is the primary driver for the sign inversion.
