Design of a thermoelectric characterization platform for thin-film bismuth telluride
In this paper, we discuss the construction of a small apparatus less than 3cm large to characterize the thermoelectric properties of a small thermoelectric sample that can be easily used in cryogenic environments. The device was then used to measure the thermal conductivity of silicon and the Seebeck coefficient of thin film bismuth telluride. Thin film bismuth telluride has become of particula...

متن کاملThermoelectric transport perpendicular to thin-film heterostructures calculated using the Monte Carlo technique
The Monte Carlo technique is used to calculate electrical as well as thermoelectric transport properties across thin-film heterostructures. We study a thin InGaAsP barrier layer sandwiched between two InGaAs contact layers, when the barrier thickness is in the 50 nm–2000 nm range. We found that with decreasing size, the effective Seebeck coefficient is increased substantially. The transition be...
متن کاملStructurally-driven Enhancement of Thermoelectric Properties within Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) thin Films
UNLABELLED Due to the rising need for clean energy, thermoelectricity has raised as a potential alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Specifically, thermoelectric devices based on polymers could offer an efficient path for near-room temperature energy harvesters. Thus, control over thermoelectric properties of conducting polymers is crucial and, herein, the structural, electrical an...
متن کاملMicrostructure Evolution and Thermoelectric Property of Pt-PtRh Thin Film Thermocouples
Due to their small size, extremely fast response, and low cost, refractory metallic thin film thermocouples (TFTCs) are well suited for the surface temperature measurement of hot components. In this study, PtRh films with different amounts of Rhodium (10% and 13%) were deposited with direct current magnetron sputtering and annealed at different temperatures in air. The chemistry, microstructure...
