Comparison of thermoelectric properties of nanostructured Mg2Si, FeSi2, SiGe, and nanocomposites of SiGe–Mg2Si, SiGe–FeSi2

Thermoelectric properties of nanostructured FeSi2, Mg2Si, and SiGe are compared with their nanocomposites of SiGe–Mg2Si and SiGe–FeSi2. It was found that the addition of silicide nanoinclusions to SiGe alloy maintained or increased the power factor while further reduced the thermal conductivity comp...
