Thermoelectric Figure-of-Merit of Fully Dense Single-Crystalline SnSe [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2019 Single-crystalline SnSe has attracted much attention because of its record high figure-of-merit ZT ≈ 2.6; however, this high ZT has been associated with the low mass density of samples which leaves the intrinsic ZT of fully dense pristine SnSe in question.
