When band convergence is not beneficial for thermoelectrics
Band convergence is a strategy to enhance a material’s thermoelectric performance, as it increases the charge carrier concentration for a given Fermi level. Here, the authors find that the benefit of band convergence can be negated by interband scattering depending on the manner in which bands conve...
