ABSTRACT
One viable path to remedy the interdependence of these coe²cients is to introduce e¤ects that make it possible to simultaneously improve the coe²cients and thus enhance the œgure-of-merit further. One such scheme, which will be discussed here, involves a process which œlters out the low-energy charge carriers from the electronic transport, breaking the strong interdependence, and thus opening up new possibilities to design materials with improved thermoelectric properties.
