Fabrication of Low Cost Thermoelectric Materials With Improved Properties Using Modulation-Doping Strategy

We introduce the modulation-doping strategy in bulk SiGe nanostructures to improve the thermoelectric power factor. By separating charge carriers from their parent atoms via embedding heavily doped nanoparticles inside an intrinsic host matrix, the ionized impurity scattering rate could be largely r...
