Phonon Scattering and Suppression of Bipolar Effect in MgO/VO<sub>2</sub> Nanoparticle Dispersed p-Type Bi<sub>0.5</sub>Sb<sub>1.5</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> Composites

Bismuth-Telluride-based compounds are unique materials for thermoelectric cooling applications. Because Bi<sub>2</sub>Te<sub>3</sub> is a narrow gap semiconductor, the bipolar diffusion effect is a critical issue to enhance thermoelectric performance. Here, we report the sign...
