Optimal band structure for thermoelectrics with realistic scattering and bands

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Junsoo Park from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: Optimal band structure for thermoelectrics with realistic scattering and bands, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors determine the optimum bandwidths as a function of temperature and κlat, which improves zT beyond what is normally accessible. Optimal performance-single band Here the authors investigate how a single band may yield the highest zT with EF optimized for it. In Supplementary Fig 7, the authors show under mx=0.1 and κlat=1 W m-1 K-1, zT is limited to 5 rather than 9 . . .
