Enhanced thermoelectric performance of MnTe via Cu doping with optimized carrier concentration

Polycrystalline Mn1-xCuxTe (x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075) thermoelectric materials were prepared by a combined method of melt-quenching and hot press. The effect of Cu doping on the electrical resistivity, band gap, the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity was investigated. The power factors of...
