Thermoelectric figure of merit of degenerate and nondegenerate semiconductors
When the electronic component of the thermal conductivity is much greater than the lattice or phonon component thereof, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, may be expressed as ZT=S2/L, where S is the Seebeck coefficient or thermoelectric power, L is the Lorenz number, T is the abso...
