Valleytronics in thermoelectric materials [PDF]
npj Quantum Materials, 2018 AbstractThe central theme of valleytronics lies in the manipulation of valley degree of freedom for certain materials to fulfill specific application needs. While thermoelectric (TE) materials rely on carriers as working medium to absorb heat and generate power, their performance is intrinsically constrained by the energy valleys to which the carriers ...

Chalcogenides as thermoelectric materials [PDF]
Journal of Solid State Chemistry, 2019 Abstract Thermoelectric materials can be utilized to generate electricity from a temperature gradient, thereby recycling the nowadays abundant waste heat, as well as for cooling applications by creating a temperature gradient from electricity. The former is based on the Seebeck effect, and the latter on the Peltier effect.
