摘要
The thermoelectric materials Mg2Si and rare-earth doped Mg2Si were fabricated by using a vacuum melting method followed by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient, and the thermal conductivity at temperatures between 300 and 800 K were rneasured to evaluate the thermoelectric properties of Mg2Si. Their thermoelectric properties were improved with increased SPS sintering temperature. All pure and Nd-doped Mg2Si samples exhibited n-type behavior over the temperature range investigated. The Mg2Si sample that was subjected to SPS at 1123 K showed a maximum figure of merit, ZT of 0.24 at 773 K.
