Thermoelectric Properties And Phase Transition Of Doped Single Crystals And Polycrystals Of Bi2te3
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY(2021)
摘要
The temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity sigma(T), Seebeck coefficient sigma(T), and heat capacity C-p(T) of polycrystalline samples of Bi2Te3, Bi2Te3+1%CuI, and Bi2Te3+1%(CuI+1/2Pb) are investigated in the temperature range below room temperature. Based on the temperature dependences of all investigated physical properties, it is discovered that phase transition occurs at 120-200 K. Investigation of single crystals shows that anomalies in the electrical resistivity (rho(T)=1/sigma(T)) occur only across the crystal growth axis (across the well-conducting Bi-Te plane). Investigation of the low-temperature dependence of electrical conductivity shows that all polycrystalline samples exhibit quasi-two-dimensional electron transport. Additionally, quasi-two-dimensional transport is detected in single crystals based on anisotropy analysis rho perpendicular to(T)/rho||(T):10 (where rho||(T) is the resistivity along the crystal growth axis, and rho perpendicular to(T) is resistivity across the crystal growth axis) and temperature dependence rho(T):T2 below 50 K. The Fermi energy EF is estimated using the temperature dependence of S(T). It is discovered that an increase in EF at T > 200 K is associated with the phase transition. For single-crystal samples, the maximum thermoelectric figure of merit ZT, as observed along the crystal growth axis, increases with doping. A maximum ZT value of similar to 1.1 is observed for the Bi2Te3+1%(CuI+1/2Pb) sample at room temperature (T=300K).
