摘要

We investigated the transport properties of Ba-doped cobalt oxypnictides, (Sr \(_{1-x}\) 1 - x Ba \(_x\) x ) \(_2\) 2 ScCoPO \(_3\) 3 (x = 0.05 and 0.10), synthesized via a solid-state reaction. The objective was to clarify whether lattice expansion alone induces the anomalous Seebeck coefficient (S) sign inversion previously observed in Fe-doped Sr \(_2\) 2 ScCoPO \(_3\) 3 . XRD analysis showed that Ba-substitution in the Sr \(_2\) 2 ScO \(_3\) 3 blocking layer successfully expanded the lattice constants.

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.
