Electron mean-free-path filtering in Dirac material for improved thermoelectric performance.
Recent advancements in thermoelectric materials have largely benefited from various approaches, including band engineering and defect optimization, among which the nanostructuring technique presents a promising way to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) by means of reducing the characteristic length of the nanostructure, which relies on the belief that phonons' mean free paths (MFPs...
متن کاملElectron mean free path in elemental metals
The electron mean free path k and carrier relaxation time s of the twenty most conductive elemental metals are determined by numerical integration over the Fermi surface obtained from first-principles, using constant k or s approximations and wave-vector dependent Fermi velocities vf (k). The average vf deviates considerably from the free-electron prediction, even for elements with spherical Fe...
متن کاملFirst-principles simulation of electron mean-free-path spectra and thermoelectric properties in silicon
The mean free paths (MFPs) of energy carriers are of critical importance to the nanoengineering of better thermoelectric materials. Despite significant progress in the first-principles– based understanding of the spectral distribution of phonon MFPs in recent years, the spectral distribution of electron MFPs remains unclear. In this work, we compute the energy-dependent electron scatterings and...
متن کاملCircular Mean Filtering For Textures Noise Reduction
In this paper, a special preprocessing operations (filter) is proposed to decrease the effects of noise of textures. This filter using average of circular neighbor points (Cmean) to reduce noise effect. Comparing this filter with other average filters such as square mean filter and square median filter indicates that it provides more noise reduction and increases the classification accuracy...
