The demand for clean energy is increasing, owing to the need to achieve a low-carbon society. Thermoelectric (TE) power generated using the Seebeck effect is a clean energy technology and enables power generation from unused heat. In recent years, different methods for improving the performance of TE materials used for TE power generation have been developed. Research on the development of TE materials has been reported in this journal:(a) utilization of artificial superlattices and two-dimensional electron gases [1],(b) utilization of magnetic elements [2],(c) control of domain boundaries [3], and (d) establishment of nanostructures [4–6]. Generally, the performance of TE materials is evaluated using the dimensionless figure of merit zT expressed by Eq.(1): zT ¼ S2 T ð1Þ where S, σ, κ, and T are the Seebeck coefficient (electromotive force generated by a temperature difference of 1K), electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and absolute temperature, respectively. The thermal conductivity is determined using Eq.(2):
