“…The nature of energy eigenstates is characterized by calculating inverse participation ratios, [
28,37 ] through which the distribution of particles at different lattice sites can directly be estimated—a simple way of predicting whether a state is conducting or not. The thermoelectric quantities, which include electrical conductance ( G ), Seebeck coefficient ( S ) and thermal conductance due to electrons (
), are obtained from the Landauer integrals, [
18,19,38,39 ] and the two‐terminal electron transmission probability, involved in these quantities, is determined via the standard Green's function formalism. [
40–45 ] For the calculation of phonon thermal conductance (
) and phonon transmission probability we also follow the Green's function technique, which is elaborately discussed in refs.…”
