Enhanced Thermoelectric ZT in the Tails of the Fermi Distribution via Electron Filtering by Nanoinclusions -- Model Electron Transport in Nanocomposites

S. Aria Hosseini, Devin Coleman, Sabah Bux +2

Silicon carbide nanoparticles with diameters around 8 nm and with narrow size distribution have been finely mixed with doped silicon nanopowders and sintered into bulk samples to i…
