摘要
A system for measuring Seebeck coefficient was constructed and applied to Bi2Te3-xSex (x = 0.15-0.6) samples without harmful dopants, prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by hot pressing (HP). The constructed thermal contact method system, using single and multiple AT values, gave Seebeck coefficients of a standard reference material (SRM 3451) at room temperature confirmable as 230 4 and 232 1 nV/K, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns and differential scanning calorimetry curves showed that the MA HP-sintered samples of Bi2Te3,Sex were single-phase Bi2Te3-xSex-related materials. All the Bi2Te3-xSex samples were n-type semiconductors. The maximum power factor was 1.4 x 10(-3) W m(-1)K(-2) for Bi2Te3-xSex sintered at 623 K. These results indicated that doping with harmful materials of Bi2Te3-xSex Ser compounds prepared by the MA HP process is not necessary for carrier control.
