Achieving high power factor and output power density in p-type half-Heuslers Nb

Improvements in thermoelectric material performance over the past two decades have largely been based on decreasing the phonon thermal conductivity. Enhancing the power factor has been less successful in comparison. In this work, a peak power factor of ∼106 μW⋅cm⁻¹⋅K⁻² is achieved by increasing the...
