This study prepared Bi2Te3 single crystals and investigated the thermoelectric properties of Bi2Te3 based on the electronic structure and formation energy of point defects which are calculated by density functional theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
