The (Bi2Te3)0.96(Bi2Se3)0.04 is an n-type thermoelectric semiconductor for using in thermoelectric cooling systems. Single crystal of this composition was grown by Zone Melting Method and thermoelectric power (α 2 σ) along the crystal growth where α is the Seebeck coefficient and σ is the electrical conductivity was measured. In this measurement a gradient along length of the prepared crystalli...
متن کاملOptimization of thermoelectric properties on Bi2Te3 thin films deposited by thermal co-evaporation
The optimization of the thermal co-evaporation deposition process for n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) thin films onto polyimide substrates for thermoelectric applications is reported. The influence of deposition parameters (evaporation rate and substrate temperature) on film composition and thermoelectric properties was studied for optimal thermoelectric performance. Energy-dispersive X-ray s...
متن کاملEnhanced thermoelectric performance in three-dimensional superlattice of topological insulator thin films
We show that certain three-dimensional (3D) superlattice nanostructure based on Bi2Te3 topological insulator thin films has better thermoelectric performance than two-dimensional (2D) thin films. The 3D superlattice shows a predicted peak value of ZT of approximately 6 for gapped surface states at room temperature and retains a high figure of merit ZT of approximately 2.5 for gapless surface st...
متن کاملAnomalous thermoelectricity in strained Bi2Te3 films
Bi2Te3-based alloys have been intensively used for thermoelectric coolers and generators due to their high Seebeck coefficient S. So far, efforts to improve the S have been made mostly on changing the structures and components. Herein, we demonstrate an anomalous thermoelectricity in strained Bi2Te3 films, i.e., the value of S is obviously changed after reversing the direction of temperature gr...
متن کاملThe effect of temperature on thermoelectric properties of n-type Bi2Te3 nanowire/graphene layer-by-layer hybrid composites.
The thermoelectric properties of Bi2Te3 nanowire/graphene composites prepared at different sintering temperatures have been investigated. The as-synthesized ultrathin Bi2Te3 nanowires are uniformly distributed between the graphene layers, leading to the formation of Bi2Te3 nanowire/graphene layer-by-layer hybrid structures. The electrical conductivity of the as-sintered composites increases dra...
