Enhancing the Thermoelectric Power Factor with Highly Mismatched Isoelectronic Doping

We investigate the effect of O impurities on the thermoelectric properties of ZnSe from a combination of first-principles and analytic calculations. It is demonstrated that dilute amounts of O impurities introduce peaks in the density of states (DOS) above the conduction band minimum, and that the...
