Thermoelectric figure of merit ZT

Layer 2 — Chemistryin the materials-science subtree

Thermoelectric figure of merit ZT = S^2 sigma T / kappa, where S is Seebeck coefficient, sigma electrical conductivity, T absolute temperature, and kappa total thermal conductivity. Maximising ZT requires a phonon-glass/electron-crystal…
