Kimura, Professor T. M. Tritt, Dr. K. Kirihara, and Dr. A. L. Pope for sharing useful materials. I acknowledge M. V. Hernández for a critical reading of the manuscript. This work was supported by the UCM through Project No. PR3/04-12450.In this work we present a prospective study on the possible use of certain quasicrystalline alloys in order to improve the efficiency of segmented thermoelectric generators. To this end, we obtain a closed analytical expression for their compatibility factor [G. J. Snyder and T. S. Ursell, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 148301 (2003)]. By comparing our analytical results with available experimental data we conclude that a promising high temperature material, compatible with benchmark thermoelectric materials, can be found among AlPdMn based icosahedral quasicrystals.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.70.100201https://journals.aps.orgopen access538.9Density-of-statesAl-Cu-FeComposition dependenceElectronic transportApproximantsConductionPseudogapFísica de materialesFísica del estado sólido2211 Física del Estado Sólido
