Carrier distribution in multi-band materials and its effect on thermoelectric properties

Band convergence is one of the most interesting topics in recent studies of thermoelectrics. However, its effect on thermoelectric properties is only simply stated as improving band degeneracy. In this paper, the enhanced thermoelectric performance due to band convergence is clarified from the viewp...
