We investigate the thermoelectric properties of β-FeSi2 using first principles electronic structure and Boltzmann transport calculations. We report a high thermopower for both p- and n-type β-FeSi2 over a wide range of carrier concentration and in addition find the performance for n-type to be higher than for the p-type. Our results indicate that, depending upon temperature, a doping level of 3 × 1020 to 2 × 1021 cm−3 may optimize the thermoelectric performance.
