Band Engineering in Thermoelectric Materials Using Optical, Electronic, and Ab-Initio Computed Properties

<p>Thermoelectric materials have demanded a significant amount of attention for their ability to convert waste heat directly to electricity with no moving parts. A resurgence in thermoelectrics research has led to significant enhancements in the thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, even for mat...
