Charting lattice thermal conductivity for inorganic crystals and discovering rare earth chalcogenides for thermoelectrics

Thermoelectric power generation represents a promising approach to utilize waste heat. The most effective thermoelectric materials exhibit low thermal conductivity κ. However, less than 5% out of about 105 synthesized inorganic materials are documented with their κ values, while for the remaining 95...
