Journal ArticleDOI
High thermoelectric performance by resonant dopant indium in nanostructured SnTe
Qian Zhang,Bolin Liao,Yucheng Lan,Kevin Lukas,Weishu Liu,Keivan Esfarjani,Cyril Opeil,David Broido,Gang Chen,Zhifeng Ren +9 more
TL;DR: This work studied the thermoelectric properties of nanostructured SnTe with different dopants, and found indium-doped SnTe showed extraordinarily large Seebeck coefficients that cannot be explained properly by the conventional two-valence band model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant Reduction of Lattice Thermal Conductivity by the Electron-Phonon Interaction in Silicon with High Carrier Concentrations: A First-Principles Study
TL;DR: Unexpectedly, a significant reduction of the lattice thermal conductivity at room temperature as the carrier concentration goes above 10(19) cm(-3) is found, a range of great technological relevance to thermoelectric materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ab initio study of electron-phonon interaction in phosphorene
TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-phonon interaction in the monolayer of black phosphorus has been investigated using density functional perturbation theory and Wannier interpolation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Microporous and Naturally Nanostructured Thermoelectric Metal-Organic Framework with Ultralow Thermal Conductivity
Lei Sun,Bolin Liao,Dennis Sheberla,Daniel Kraemer,Jiawei Zhou,Eric A. Stach,Dmitri N. Zakharov,Vitalie Stavila,A. Alec Talin,Yicong Ge,Mark D. Allendorf,Gang Chen,François Léonard,Mircea Dincă +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an n-type naturally nanostructured microporous MOF, Ni 3 (2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene) 2, whose pressed pellets exhibit high electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-principles simulation of electron mean-free-path spectra and thermoelectric properties in silicon
Bo Qiu,Zhiting Tian,Ajit K. Vallabhaneni,Bolin Liao,Jonathan Mendoza,Oscar D. Restrepo,Xiulin Ruan,Gang Chen +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy-dependent electron scatterings and mean free paths (MFPs) of energy carriers in silicon from first principles are computed and compared to the phonon thermal conductivity accumulation to illustrate the quantitative impact of nanostructuring on electron and phonon transport.
