1、two effective approaches that optimize TE performance

One is band engineering, which is performed to enhance the PF through elemental doping at the atomic/molecular scale. Although the electronic band feature is an intrinsic property of a given TE material, it can be modified to some degree. The distortion of the electronic density of states (DOS) can effectively increase α, maintaining a relatively high σ. The charge density wave instability approach creates a high α . Large valley degeneracies and multiple electronic valence bands also provide high α and σ values. 

The other approach is phonon engineering, which mainly reduces \kappa _{L} by improving interfacial scattering at the nanometer scale. In order to reduce κ, in particular \kappa _{L}, the enhancement of phonon scattering by the introduction of grain boundaries and defects is regarded as a useful method. Giant anharmonic vibration can also decrease \kappa _{L} . All scale hierarchical architectures usually scatter phonons with long mean free paths . In addition, an intrinsically low κ is also required in some copper chalcogenides due to the liquid-like behavior of copper ions

2、对于热电材料中存在磁性的粒子的影响:

磁性的粒子将会存在一个微观的磁场H_{A},这个微观的磁场将会对载流子产生影响。由于这个微观磁场方向的不确定,载流子的速度方向至少有3中,第一种是与磁场的方向平行,这种载流子将不会受到微观磁场的影响;第二种是与磁场垂直,这种粒子将会受到洛伦兹力的影响,将会走圆形路径;第三种是与磁场既有平行的方向,又有垂直的方向,将会走螺旋线的方向。因此,存在磁性的粒子将会改变载流子的浓度,进而影响S和\sigma。同时磁性粒子将会造成载流子的散射,减少\kappa

3、超顺磁增强热电性能

(1)超顺磁的的行为

  • 单畴粒子在任何磁场中都能够被均一的磁化
  • 推导:什么情况下能够变成超顺磁态

 (2)电子的多重散射行为

  • If the reversal time of the magnetic moment is shorter than that of the measurement scale under an external magnetic field, the system is in a superparamagnetic state.Otherwise, it is in a so-called blocked state.
  • T_{B}=\frac{KV}{k_{B}\ln \left ( \tau _{m}/\tau _{0} \right )}   \tau _{m}是特征时间,\tau _{0}是测量时间,T_{B}是阻塞温度,在阻塞温度以上是超顺磁态
  • 由于纳米粒子的超顺磁状态(
