摘要: Bi2Te3 is known for its large thermopower, a low thermal conductivity, and thereby thermoelectric figure of merit ZT at room temperature. Particularly, the conductivity attributed to high structural disorder. Electron probe microanalysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry in TEM were applied on n-type Bi2(Te,Se)3 p-type (Bi,Sb)2Te3 bulk materials chemical analysis. Significant variations stoichiometry found micrometer scale. Bulk showed texture, grain sizes 1−10 μm, dislocations basal plane with density 109 cm−2 having mobility A modulation [natural nanostructure (nns)] was nanometer This nns also observed thin films Bi2Te3/Bi2(Te,Se)3 superlattices turned out be general character materials. The analyzed detail by stereomicroscopy image s...
