| Abstract |
Formation of (Bi_(0. 25)Sb_(0. 75))₂Te₃ alloy was completed by mechanical alloying of the as-mixed Bi, Sb, and Te granules of ∼5 ㎜ size for 5 hours at ball-to-material ration of 5:1. When hot pressed at temperatures ranged from 300℃ to 550℃ for 30 minutes, figure of merit of (Bi_(0. 25)Sb_(0. 75))₂Te₃ increased with increasing hot pressing temperature and maximum value of 2.8×10^(-3)/K could be obtained by hot pressing at 550℃. When hot pressed at 400℃, figure of merit was increased from 2.0×10^(-3)/K to 2.37×10^(-3)/K with addition of 1.25 wt% Sb as an acceptor dopant. With further addition of Sb, however, figure of merit was abruptly decreased. When hot pressed at 550℃, figure of merit(∼2.8×10^(-3)/K) was little changed with addition of Sb up to 2 wt%, and then decreased abruptly below 0.5×10^(-3)/K with further addition of Sb. |
