Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, and thermal conductivity of Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 crystals grown by the floating-crucible technique were measured in the temperature range from 100 to 700 K. The thermoelectric figure of merit of the crystals was evaluated. The effect of crystal composition on these properties was analyzed.
