Uniaxial Tensile Strain Induced the Enhancement of Thermoelectric Properties in <i>n</i>-Type BiCuO<i>Ch</i> (<i>Ch</i> = Se, S): A First Principles Study

It is well known that the performance of thermoelectric measured by figure of merit <i>ZT</i> linearly depends on electrical conductivity, while it is quadratic related to the Seebeck coefficient, and the improvement of Seebeck coefficient may reduce electrical conductivity. As a promisi...
