Tailoring the amount of nanometer-sized nodules made of amorphous silica, resulting from natural oxidation during the processing steps, in an N-type sintered polycrystalline Si92Ge08 material is shown as an effective way to reduce the thermal conductivity without affecting significantly the thermoelectric power factor.
