Alloying CdTe in GeTe promotes the band convergence and intensifies phonon scattering due to discordant nature of Cd GeTe. Upon optimizing carrier concentration<italic>via</italic>Sb doping, we obtain a peak<italic>ZT</italic>of 1.8 at 700 K high average<italic>ZT</italic>of 1.3.
Doping in a lattice refers to the introduction of very small quantities foreign atoms and has generally effect on decreasing thermal conductivity, unlike alloying which involves large fractions other elements strongly enhances point defect phonon scattering.

The PZT gating (MoS -PZT FETs) exhibit reproducible hysteresis and nonvolatile memory behaviors high stability, which can be attributed to the polarization screening from interface adsorbates charge dynamic trapping/detrapping into defect...
The Seebeck effect in a material originates from the distribution of asymmetry electron transport under temperature gradient, which has contributions energy-dependent electronic density-of-states and carrier mobility. However, because energy dependence common scattering mechanisms is weak, mobility-driven coefficient long been ignored most thermoelectric materials, considered dominant contribution. In this work, we describe hopping behavior observed CuFeS2, large Hall mobility gradient...

The Cu2Se compound possesses extraordinary thermoelectric performance at high temperatures and shows great potential for the application of waste heat recycling. However, a device usually undergoes mechanical vibration, and/or thermal cycling, shock in service. Therefore, properties are equal importance as performance. stability during long-term service have rarely been reported. In this study, we systematically investigated compounds synthesized by three varied methods (melting (M),...

Lead telluride (PbTe) is one of the best thermoelectric materials in intermediate temperature range, which shows great potential for waste heat recycling. However, its low strength and high brittleness limit large-scale application because device usually undergoes mechanical vibration, and/or thermal cycling, shock service. In this study, enhanced properties PbTe are realized simultaneously through introducing dispersive transition-metal dichalcogenide MoTe2 (molybdenum telluride). The...
