Abstract
Bismuth telluride materials were fabricated by ultrarapid quenching. Foils are obtained with a thickness varying from 10 to 60 mu m The thermoelectric properties were determined measuring electrical resistivity, Seebeck coeff icient and Hall coefficient. The influence of quenching temperature and hea t treatment on the Seebeck coefficient was studied. The variation of thermo electric properties with temperature was also studied. N-type degenerated m aterials were obtained with a carrier concentration of 10(29) m(-3). (C) 20 00 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
