The opportunity to use solid-state thermoelectrics for waste heat recovery has reinvigorated
the field of thermoelectrics in tackling the challenges of energy sustainability. While …

Since the end of the cold war, macroscopic amounts of separated stable isotopes of most
elements have been available “off the shelf” at affordable prices. Using these materials …

Thermoelectric transport properties of p-type PbTe: Na, with high hole concentrations of
approximately 1020 cm− 3, are reinvestigated from room temperature to 750 K. The greatly …

We began planning and writing this book in the late 1970s at the suggestion of Manuel
Cardona and Helmut Lotsch. We also received considerable en couragement and …

Semiconductor Materials presents physico-chemical, electronic, electrical, elastic,
mechanical, magnetic, optical, and other properties of a vast group of elemental, binary, and …

Thermoelectric materials can be optimized by tuning the carrier concentration with chemical
doping. However, because the optimum dopant concentration typically increases with …

Abstract The rocksalt-structure PbS, PbSe, and PbTe semiconductors and their alloys exhibit
a series of electronic-structure anomalies relative to the II-VI system, including the …

Black phosphorus (BP) has gained renewed attention due to its singular anisotropic
