摘要
We have investigated the thermoelectric (TE) properties of films composed of aligned and randomly dispersed n-type, p-type, and p-n junctions. The TE voltage that was developed across aligned films was larger than the voltage developed along their axis of symmetry by a factor of almost 3. The TE voltage that developed across aligned and parallel p-n junction was almost seven times larger then the voltage developed over randomly oriented p-type only films.
