Giant thermoelectric figure of merit in multivalley high-complexity-factor LaSO

We report a giant thermoelectric figure of merit ZT (up to six at 1100 K) in n-doped lanthanum oxysulphate LaSO. Thermoelectric coefficients are computed from ab initio bands within Bloch-Boltzmann theory in an energy-, chemical potential-, and temperature-dependent relaxation time approximation. Th...
