The phonon-drag contribution to the Seebeck coefficient (S_ph) for p-type Si, Ge and Si_1-xGe_x is investigated for thermoelectric applications. The S_ph in Si and Ge is found to mainly determined by the phonon velocity, phonon mean free path and carrier mobility associated with acoustic deformation potential scattering. Moreover, the S_ph in Si_1-xGe_x is predictable by the above-mentioned material parameters interpolated with those in Si and Ge.
