(color online) Thermoelectric transport properties of n-doped monolayer WSe₂ as a function of electrons per unit cell at typical values of strain. (a) Seebeck coefficient. (b) The relaxation time scaled electrical conductivity. (c) Relaxation time scaled thermoelectric power factor. The insets are the thermoelectric transport properties of carrier n-doped monolayer WSe₂ at each given value of strain at 900 K with the electron concentration n = −5 × 10¹⁹ cm⁻³. The range in which the thermoelectric transport properties are superior to the unstrained case is denoted with yellow.
