説明

<jats:p>We report on an enhanced thermoelectric figure of merit ZT=σS2T/λ (where σ is electrical conductivity, S is thermopower, T is absolute temperature, and λ is thermal conductivity) for PbTe/PbSe0.20Te0.80 superlattices (SLs) and PbTe doping SLs due to a reduction of the thermal conductivity λ parallel to the layer planes. Despite a small decrease of the power factors σS2 due to a reduction of σ in these superlattices, the figure of merit is higher as compared to the corresponding bulk materials and reaches maximum values in the temperature range between 400 and 570 K.</jats:p>
