Abstract: Here, we present a thermoelectric phase diagram for the SrTi1-xNbxO3 (0.05 <= x <= 1) solid solution system, which we derived from the characterization of epitaxial films. We observed two thermoelectric phase boundaries in the system, which originate from the step-like decrease in carrier effective mass at x similar to 0.3 and from a local minimum in carrier relaxation time at x similar to 0.5. The origins of these phase boundaries are considered to be related to isovalent/heterovalent B-site substitution: parabolic Ti 3d orbitals dominate electron conduction for compositions with x < 0.3, whereas the Nb 4 d orbital dominates when x > 0.3. At x similar to 0.5, a tetragonal distortion of the lattice, in which the B-site is composed of Ti4+ and Nb4+ ions, leads to the formation of tail-like impurity bands, which maximizes the electron scattering. These results provide a foundation for further research into improving the thermoelectric performance of SrTi1-xNbxO3. Published by AIP Publishing.
