(color online) Temperature dependence of (a) Seebeck coefficient, (b) electrical conductivity, and (c) power factor for Cu₂Ge(Se_1−xTe_x)₃ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4) samples. Carrier density dependence of panel (d) Seebeck coefficient and (e) carrier mobility at 320 K. The dashed line in panel (d) is the Pisarenko curve simulated with m^* = 0.7m_e; The dashed line in panel (e) is a simulated curve for . Data from Ref. [24] are also plotted for reference.
