    (Color online) Carrier density dependence of absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient (Pisarenko relation) and the squared points represent the optimal values for obtaining (a) ZTmax, and (b) Seebeck coefficient squared for 2DBL MSe2 (M = Zr, Hf, Mo, W) and bulk.
    (Color online) Mobility versus carrier density for 2DBL MSe2 (M = Zr, Hf, Mo, W). The squared points represent the optimal values for obtaining ZTmax (the inset mobility as a function of the reduced chemical potential).
    (Color online) Electrical conductivity versus carrier density for 2DBL MSe2 (M = Zr, Hf, Mo, W) (solid line) and bulk (dotted line. The squared points represent the optimal values for obtaining ZTmax (the insetσ as a function of the reduced chemical potential).
