Letyuchenko S.D., Kopyl A.I. Stabilization of parameters of p-(Bi₂Te₃)_0.25 (Sb₂Te₃)_0.72 (Sb₂Se3)_0.03 thermoelectric materials
The reasons for degradation of р-(Bi₂Te₃)_0.25(Sb₂Te₃)_0,72(Sb₂Se₃)_0.03, thermoelectric materials grown by vertical zone melting are investigated by measuring the distribution of thermopower and electric conductivity values along the axis of ingots during isothermal annealing. It is established that the main reason for parameters degradation is the presence of microprecipitates of tellurium-rich phase when growing with excess stoichiometric tellurium. Implementation of molecular mechanism of components introduction at crystallization made it possible to considerably reduce the amount of excess tellurium and to obtain stable materials with increased figure of merit Z>3.0x10^-3К^-1. The use of such materials for the manufacture of cooling modules allowed obtaining a difference of 75K from room temperature.
