Thermoelectric Properties of AgBiTe2-Ag2Te Composite
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
We prepared composite materials of AgBiTe2 with several contents of Ag2Te small-size grains for applications to thermoelectric devices. By enhancing long-wavelength phonon scattering at the grain boundaries, lattice thermal conductivity (thermal conductivity due to lattice vibrations) decreased 30% and thus the thermoelectric characteristics were significantly improved.
