Description
Research Objectives
Within this four-year program, the objective is to advance the materials
discovery paradigm as applied to thermoelectric materials. Achieving this will require:
1. Development of a set of quantitative design principles for semiconductor dopability that uses inexpensive calculations, structural/chemical descriptors, and a reliable learning set.
2. Accurate characterization of native defects, dopants, and their charge state to help develop,assess and continuously rene the model. This step must include both state-of-the-art defect calculations and careful experimental studies.
3. Validation of the improved search paradigm by realizing high zT via computational insight into both intrinsic (electronic/phonon transport) properties and dopability.
