Dramatic thermal conductivity reduction by nanostructures for large increase in thermoelectric figure-of-merit of FeSb[subscript 2]

In this report, thermal conductivity reduction by more than three orders of magnitude over its single crystal counterpart for the strongly correlated system FeSb[subscript 2] through a nanostructure approach was presented, leading to a significant increase of thermoelectric figure-of-merit (ZT). For...
