Substitutional and interstitial impurity p-type doping of thermoelectric Mg2Si: a theoretical study

The narrow-gap magnesium silicide semiconductor Mg2Si is a promising mid-temperature (600–900 K) thermoelectric material. It intrinsically possesses n-type conductivity, and n-type dopants are generally used for improving its thermoelectric performance; however, the synthesis of p-type Mg2Si is rela...
