Experimental determination of the Lorenz number in Cu[subscript 0.01]Bi[subscript 2]Te[subscript 2.7]Se[subscript 0.3] and Bi[subscript 0.88]Sb[subscript 0.12]

Nanostructuring has been shown to be an effective approach to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity and improve the thermoelectric figure of merit. Because the experimentally measured thermal conductivity includes contributions from both carriers and phonons, separating out the phonon contribution...
