Minority carrier blocking through heterointerface barriers has been theoretically proposed to enhance the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of bismuth telluride based nanocomposites at elevated temperatures recently (Phys. Rev. B2016, 93, 165209). Here, to experimentally realize the minority carri...
