PbTe is a typical intermediate-temperature thermoelectric material, which has undergone
extensive developments and achieved excellent high thermoelectric performance. In this …

We report that Ga-doped and Ga–In-codoped n-type PbS samples show excellent
thermoelectric performance in the intermediate temperature range. First-principles electronic …

Band engineering is an important experimental approach to increase the thermopower of
thermoelectric materials, whereas the underlying mechanism has been barely clarified. In …

As a highly potential environmental-friendly medium-temperature thermoelectric material,
pure SnTe exhibits relatively poor performance due to its intrinsic high carrier concentration …

In the rigid band approximation dopants in semiconductors only change the Fermi level and
carrier concentration such that different dopants are thought equivalent when fully ionized. In …

Electronic transport properties of thermoelectric materials containing resonant levels are
discussed by analyzing the two best known examples: copper-nickel metallic alloy (Cu-Ni …

We synthesize an iron-doped PbTe single-crystal ingot and investigate the phase and the
elemental composition as well as galvanomagnetic properties in weak magnetic fields (4.2 …

Electronic structures of Mn-doped PbX (X= Te, Se, S) are investigated by first-principles
calculations. It is found that the Mn-doping in PbTe enlarges the band gap and increases the …

We synthesize an iron-doped PbTe single-crystal ingot and investigate the phase
composition and distribution of the iron impurity along the ingot as well as galvanomagnetic …
