To improve thermoelectric (TE) efficiency, the physical phenomenon of TE effect is revisited. The important TE figure of merit (FOM) is expressed in terms of powers, and it is mapped by two fundamental quantities. One is the electronic TE efficiency, which is purely determined by a probability distr...
