Yanzhong Pei is the first-listed author of Convergence of electronic bands for high performance bulk thermoelectrics by Yanzhong Pei and others. The study uses convergence of electronic bands in lead telluride-based alloys to improve performance measured by the thermoelectric figure of merit. It illustrates how electronic structure can be engineered alongside heat transport when optimizing the thermoelectric figure of merit.^[ref]
