The Thermoelectric Figure of Merit and its Relation to Thermoelectric Generators†
Abstract
The expression for the figure of merit of a semi-conductor of given carrier mobility and lattice thermal conductivity expressed in terms of generalized Fermi-Dirae functions has been numerically evaluated for various scattering indices. The results are presented graphically enabling the maximum figure of merit to be found. High-temperature limitations due to minority carrier production are considered in relation to the energy gap of the semi-conductor. The results are discussed in connection with bismuth telluride and other sulphides, selenides and telluridos of the heavy metals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
