Enhanced thermoelectric performance of Bi-doped Mg2Si0.3Sn0.7 with conduction band convergence has been successfully interpreted using the single parabolic band (SPB) model. The improved understanding of scattering parameters is important and instructive for further optimization of n-type Mg2Si0.3Sn0.7.

AbstractThe descriptive scattering parameters, haze and angular distribution functions of textured ZnO:Al transparent conductive oxides with different surface roughness are measured. An approach to determine the scattering parameters of all internal interfaces in p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells deposited on the glass/ZnO:Al substrates is presented. Using the determined scattering parameters as the input parameters of the optical model, a good agreement between the measured and simulated quantum efficiencies of the p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells with different interface roughness is achieved.

In this work we propose a method for single image dehazing that exploits a physical model to recover the haze-free image by estimating the atmospheric scattering parameters. Cycle consistency is used to further improve the reconstruction quality of local structures and objects in the scene as well. Experimental results on four real and synthetic hazy image datasets show the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of two commonly used full-reference image quality metrics.

AbstractThe single parabolic band (SPB) model has been widely used to preliminarily elucidate inherent transport behaviors of thermoelectric (TE) materials, such as their band structure and electronic thermal conductivity, etc. However, in the SPB calculation, it is necessary to determine some intermediate variables, such as Fermi level or the complex Fermi-Dirac integrals. In this work, we establish a direct carrier-concentration-dependent restructured SPB model, which eliminates Fermi-Dirac integrals and Fermi level calculation and emerges stronger visibility and usability in experiments. We have verified the reliability of such restructured model with 490 groups of experimental data from state-of-the-art TE materials and the relative error is less than 2%. Moreover, carrier effective mass, intrinsic carrier mobility and optimal carrier concentration of these materials are systematically investigated. We believe that our work can provide more convenience and accuracy for thermoelectric data analysis as well as instructive understanding on future optimization design.
