Principles of Computational Modeling

Bys: Selvaraju, C., Karthick, R., Jayaprakash, K.

The book deals with the contribution of theoretical calculations and predictions in the development of advanced high-performance thermoelectrics. The work has been increasingly significant and has successfully guided experiments to understand as well as achieve record-breaking results. In this review, recent developments in high-performance nanostructured bulk thermoelectric materials are discussed from the viewpoint of theoretical calculations. An effective emerging strategy for boosting thermoelectric performance involves minimizing electron scattering while maximizing heat-carrying phonon scattering on many length scales. We present several important strategies and key examples that highlight the contributions of first-principles-based calculations in revealing the intricate but tractable relationships for this synergistic optimization of thermoelectric performance.
