Thermoelectric degrees of freedom determining thermoelectric efficiency
Summary: For over half a century, the development of thermoelectric materials has based on the dimensionless figure of merit zT, assuming that the efficiency is mainly determined by this single parameter. Here, we show that the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is determined by three independent...
