“…In recent years, a few emerging studies are focused on the effect of the external magnetic field and incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles on the TE properties of materials . The significant improvement of S and ZT values under the transverse magnetic field has been observed in some semimetals and semiconductors, such as Cd 3 As 2 , NbP, and Bi–Sb, , which can be attributed to the modulation of the magnetic field to carrier scattering and electronic density of states . Meanwhile, the magnetism introduced by magnetic nanoparticles (Fe, , Co, Ni, and Fe 3 O 4 , ) can regulate the electronic and thermal transport properties synergistically in the (Bi,Sb) 2 (Te,Se) 3 , ,, CoSb 3 -based, , or half-Heusler TE materials.…”
