A comparative study of thermoelectric properties between bulk and monolayer SnSe

Electron-crystal and phonon-glass are regarded as two essential factors for ideal thermoelectric materials, which require both an enhanced electronic transport and a depressed phononic transport. These two characteristics usually cannot coexist in complete bulk semiconductors because of the strong i...
