• Low-Symmetry Rhombohedral GeTe Thermoelectrics (2018, methodology): “4 at 600 K (Figure 1B), which is much higher than that of any of its cubic analogs.(2,6,31,32,36) Such a record zT stems from a slight symmetry reduction from a cubic structure, which simultaneously enables the rearrangement of split valence bands and the reduction in kL.”
• High thermoelectric performance by resonant dopant indium in nanostructured SnTe (2013, background): “The light-hole–heavy-hole band edge energy difference is 0.12 eV for PbTe, 0.26 eV for PbSe, and 0.35 eV for SnTe (9, 29, 36); thus, the heavy-hole contribution is relatively weaker for SnTe.”
