The best thermoelectrics revisited in the quantum limit
Abstract The classical problem of best thermoelectrics, which was believed originally solved by Mahan and Sofo [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 93, 7436 (1996)], is revisited and discussed in the quantum limit. We express the thermoelectric figure of merit (z T) as a functional of electronic transmission...
