Zusammenfassung: | Significant advancements in nanoscale material efficiency optimization have made it feasible to substantially adjust the thermoelectric transport characteristics of materials.Motivated by the prediction and enhanced understanding of the behavi-or of two-dimensional(2D)bilayers(BL)of zirconium diselenide(ZrSe2),hafnium diselenide(HfSe2),molybdenum diselenide(MoSe2),and tungsten diselenide(WSe2),we investigated the thermoelectric transport properties using information generated from experimental measurements to provide inputs to work with the functions of these materials and to determine the critical factor in the trade-off between thermoelectric materials.Based on the Boltzmann transport equation(BTE)and Barden-Shockley deformation potential(DP)theory,we carried out a series of investigative calculations related to the thermoelectric properties and characterization of these materials.The calculated dimensionless figure of merit(ZT)values of 2DBL-MSe2(M=Zr,Hf,Mo,W)at room temperature were 3.007,3.611,1.287,and 1.353,respectively,with convenient electronic densities.In ad-dition,the power factor is not critical in the trade-off between thermoelectric materials but it can indicate a good thermoelec-tric performance.Thus,the overall thermal conductivity and power factor must be considered to determine the preference of thermoelectric materials. |
