TLDR
In this paper, a mixed-scattering model was used to fit the sharp variations of the various parameters with stoichiometric deviations, and the optimum Fermi level for the maximum of the figure of merit was found just at the bottom of the conduction band.

Electrical and thermal transport properties of electrically stressed Bi–Sb–Te nanocrystalline thin films

TL;DR: In this article, an electric current stressing treatment was proposed to eliminate crystal defects in sputtered Bi-Sb-Te films at low temperature, which achieved a low thermal conductivity of 0.6-0.7 W/mK.

Enhancement of carrier transport properties of BixSb2−xTe3 compounds by electrical sintering process

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that electric-current induced atomic diffusion plays an important role in modulating crystal defects in BixSb2−xTe3 compounds and showed that the electrical sintering approach can preserve fine-grain microstructure, and hence low thermal conductivity of Bixsb2+xte3 with reasonable electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient.

High-temperature thermoelectric energy conversion—I. Theory☆

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the high-temperature thermoelectric energy-conversion theory and showed that semiconductors are the logical choices for high-figure of merit-value materials, but the requirements for optimization differ depending on whether the material is classed as a broadband or narrowband semiconductor.
