New insight into the material parameter B to understand the enhanced thermoelectric performance of Mg[subscript 2]S[subscript n1−x−y]Ge[subscript x]Sb[subscript y]

Historically, a material parameter B incorporating weighted mobility and lattice thermal conductivity has guided the exploration of novel thermoelectric materials. However, the conventional definition of B neglects the bipolar effect which can dramatically change the thermoelectric energy conversion...
