abstract = {SnTe possesses a single- to double-valley transition in the
conduction band minimum when a compressive strain is
applied. Through a tight-binding analysis, it is shown that
the variation of the band structure is attributed to the
strain-induced delocalization of both the Sn-5s orbitals and
Te-5p orbitals with different angular momenta. This effect
can largely increase the electron density of states near the
band edge and thus keep the Fermi level of the compressed
SnTe closer to it, where the electrons have lower scattering
rates. The strain-induced double valleys lead to
simultaneous increases in the electrical conductivity and
the Seebeck coefficient and thereby nearly four times the
enhancement of the power factor at the doping concentration
of 5×1019 cm–3. This work suggests a feasible concept
that can be employed to promote the power factor of a Dirac
semiconductor via manipulating the valley degeneracy in the
conduction band minimum.},
