New Arsenides and Antimonides as Thermoelectric Materials and Chalcogenides with Distorted Square Nets

Thermoelectric (TE) materials can be ranked by their figure-of-merit, ZT, which is defined as ZT = (S2σT)/κ. Herein, T is the average temperature between the cold (TC) and hot sides (TH) of the thermoelectric device, S is the Seebeck coefficient, σ and κ are electrical and thermal conductivity, resp...
