First-principles simulation of electron mean-free-path spectra and thermoelectric properties in silicon

The mean free paths (MFPs) of energy carriers are of critical importance to the nano-engineering of better thermoelectric materials. Despite significant progress in the first-principles-based understanding of the spectral distribution of phonon MFPs in recent years, the spectral distribution of elec...
