IWCN 2021: Thermoelectric Properties of Complex Band and Nanostructured Materials
14 Jul 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Neophytos Neophytou, Patrizio Graziosi, Vassilios Vargiamidis
In this work, we describe a computational framework to compute the electronic and thermoelectric transport in materials with multi-band electronic structures of an arbitrary shape by coupling density function theory (DFT) bandstructures to the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE).

Landauer Approach to Thermoelectrics
23 Jun 2013 | | Contributor(s):: Changwook Jeong
Many efforts have been made to search for materials that maximize the thermoelectric (TE) figure of merit, ZT, but for decades, the improvement has been limited because of the interdependent material parameters that determine ZT. Recently, several breakthroughs have been reported by applying...
