Thermoelectric properties of p-type LiZnSb: Assessment of <i>ab initio</i> calculations is a research paper published in Journal of Applied Physics (2009). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 3.8. It has been cited 75 times, with 60 citing works in its 1-hop citation network.
In response to theoretical calculations on the thermoelectric performance of LiZnSb, we report the pertinent transport properties between room temperature and 523 K. Nominal LiZnSb samples are found to be p-type, with a carrier concentration in the range (4–7)×1020 cm−3. The thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) is found to be 0.02–0.08 at 523 K. Analysis of material transport parameters and previously reported ab initio calculations demonstrates that even with optimal doping, p-type LiZnSb is unlikely to achieve zT&gt;0.2 at 523 K. The accuracy of the high zT estimate (zT&gt;2) for n-type compositions from ab initio calculations is discussed within the current synthetic limits.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 17% comes from its base citations and 83% from the citation network (51 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
