| Abstract |
The temperature dependences of the electrical and thermoelectric properties of the SbI₃-doped 33.3% Bi₂Te₃66.7% Sb₂Te₃ single crystals have been measured at temperatures ranging from 77K to 600K. The scattering parameter of the 33.3 Bi₂Te₃-66.7% Sb₂Te₃ single crystals was determined as s = 0. With increasing the amount of SbI₃ dopant, the hole concentration of the 33.3% Bi₂Te₃-66,7% Sb₂Te₃ single crystal is decreased, resulting in the increment of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity, and the temperature for the maximum figure-of-merit shifted to lower temperature. A maximum figure-of-merit of 2.3×10^(-3)/K was obtained for 0.3 wt% SbI₃-doped specimen. It has been revealed that. the addition of SbI₃ as a donor dopant is useful in controlling the hole concentration of p-type 33.3% Bi₂Te₃ 66.7% Sb₂Te₃ alloy system. |
