"Topological thermoelectrics: New opportunities and challenges" by T. Yang, Y. Yang et al.
Due to the great application potential of the efficient interconversion between heat and electricity, thermoelectric materials have long been the research focal points in condensed matter physics and material science. Moreover, since the discovery of topological properties in solid materials, numerous research studies have recently expanded into the role of the topological state in thermoelectrics. Topological insulators and semimetals/metals are characterized by their exotic electronic band structures and quantum surface states, which can provide a new degree of freedom to manipulate thermoel...
