Abstract: Abstract The Bi2Te3, Bi1.9Lu0.1Te3 and Bi1.9Tm0.1Te3 thermoelectrics of n-type conductivity were prepared by microwave-solvothermal method and spark plasma sintering. At the Lu and Tm doping, the Seebeck coefficient increases, while the specific electrical conductivity and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.107.195116
Abstract: The multi-terminal generalization of the steady-state density functional theory for the description of electronic and thermal transport (iq-DFT) is presented. The linear response regime of the framework is developed leading to exact expressions for the… read more here.
