Establishing the carrier scattering phase diagram for ZrNiSn-based half-Heusler thermoelectric materials

Chemical doping plays an important role in tuning carrier concentration of materials, but its influence on other aspects of electrical properties is less known. Here, the authors find that chemical doping brings strong screening effects to ionized impurities, grain boundary, and polar optical phonon...
