Power Factor Anisotropy of p-Type and n-Type Conductive Thermoelectric Bi-Sb-Te Thin Films

The best films for thermoelectric applications near room temperature are based on the compounds Bi 2 Te 3 , Sb 2 Te 3 , and Bi 2 Se 3 , which as single crystals have distinct anisotropy in their electrical conductivity σ regarding the trigonal c -axis, whereas the Seebeck coefficient S is nearly iso...

For the first time in sputter-deposited p -type (Bi 0.15 Sb 0.85 ) 2 Te 3 and n -type Bi 2 (Te 0.9 Se 0.1 ) 3 thin films, the anisotropy of the electrical conductivity has been measured directly as it depends on the angle φ between the electrical current and the preferential orientation of the polycrystals (texture) using a standard four-probe method. The graphs of σ ( φ ) show the expected behavior, which can be described by a weighted mixture of σ ⊥c and σ ||c contributions. Because ( σ ⊥c / σ ||c ) p
