The temperature dependences of the electronic quality factor and the universal electrical conductivity of n-type SixGe1-x, as well as the dependences of the Seebeck coefficient on the specific and the universal conductivities, are studied. The effective masses and mobilities of c...
The Seebeck effect has found its application in many areas of human activity. This effect is applicable in the thermoelectric generators for converting waste heat into electrical energy. Bi2Sr2Co1.8Oy ceramics is a promising thermoelectric material. Incorporation of suitable dopa...
The dependence of maximums of figure of merit ((ZT)max) on thermoelectric quality factor (B) for thermoelectric SixGe1-x of n- and p-type conductivity with a charge carrier concentration of 3.21026m-3 has been considered. The values of x are: 0.7, 0.72, 0.76, 0.8 and 0.83. For al...
