Thermoelectric power factor of nanocomposite materials from two-dimensional quantum transport simulations
Samuel Foster, Mischa Thesberg, Neophytos Neophytou
Nanocomposites are promising candidates for the next generation of thermoelectric materials since they exhibit extremely low thermal conductivities as a result of phonon scattering…
On the Lorenz number of multi-band materials
Mischa Thesberg, Hans Kosina, Neophytos Neophytou
There are many exotic scenarios where the Lorenz number of the Wiedemann-Franz law is known to deviate from expected values. However, in conventional semiconductor systems, it is a…
On the effectiveness of the thermoelectric energy filtering mechanism in low-dimensional superlattices and nano-composites
Mischa Thesberg, Hans Kosina, Neophytos Neophytou
Electron energy filtering has been suggested as a promising way to improve the power factor and enhance the ZT figure of merit of thermoelectric materials. In this work we explore…
