Effect of group-3 elements doping on promotion of in-plane Seebeck coefficient of n-type Mg3Sb2

Mg3Sb2-based alloys are promising thermoelectric materials with a reasonably low thermal conductivity. However, their electrical transport property is usually limited by the low carrier concentration. Mg3Sb2 has a multi-valley conduction band with a six-fold degeneracy, benefiting n-type thermoelect...
