Thermoelectric properties of DC-sputtered filled skutterudite thin film

Journal Article Fu, Gaosheng ; Zuo, Lei ; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061 ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The Yb filled CoSb{sub 3} skutterudite thermoelectric thin films were prepared by DC magnetron sputtering. The electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, and figure of merit ZT of the samples are characterized in a temperature range of 300 K to 700 K. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are obtained to assess the phase composition and crystallinity of thin film samples at different heat treatment temperatures. Carrier concentrations and Hall mobilities are obtained from Hall Effect measurements, which provide further insight into the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient mechanisms. The thermal conductivity of thin film filled skutterudite was foundmore »« less

Neutron diffraction and thermoelectric properties of indium filled In _x Co ₄ Sb ₁₂ ( x=0.05, 0.2) and indium cerium filled Ce _0.05 In _0.1 Co ₄ Sb ₁₂ skutterudites: Neutron diffraction and thermoelectric properties of In/Ce skutterudites

Journal Article Sesselmann, Andreas ; Klobes, Benedikt ; Dasgupta, Titas ; ... - Physica Status Solidi. A, Applications and Materials Science

The thermoelectric properties on polycrystalline single (In) and double filled (Ce, In) skutterudites are characterized between 300 and 700 K. Powder neutron diffraction measurements of the skutterudite compositions In_xCo₄Sb₁₂ (x= 0.05, 0.2) and Ce_0.05In_0.1Co₄Sb₁₂ as a function of temperature (12- 300 K) were carried out, which gives more insight into the structural data of single and double-filled skutterudites. Our results show that due to the annealing treatment, a Sb deficiency is detectable and thus verifies defects at the Sb lattice site of the skutterudite. Furthermore, we show by electron microprobe analysis that a considerable amount of indium is lost duringmore »« less

Properties of double-layered Ga-doped Al-zinc-oxide/titanium-doped indium-tin-oxide thin films prepared by dc magnetron sputtering applied for Si-based thin film solar cells

Journal Article Wang, Chao-Chun ; Wuu, Dong-Sing ; Lin, Yang-Shih ; ... - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, International Journal Devoted to Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films

In this article, Ga-doped Al-zinc-oxide (GAZO)/titanium-doped indium-tin-oxide (ITIO) bi-layer films were deposited onto glass substrates by direct current (dc) magnetron sputtering. The bottom ITIO film, with a thickness of 200 nm, was sputtered onto the glass substrate. The ITIO film was post-annealed at 350 deg. C for 10-120 min as a seed layer. The effect of post-annealing conditions on the morphologies, electrical, and optical properties of ITIO films was investigated. A GAZO layer with a thickness of 1200 nm was continuously sputtered onto the ITIO bottom layer. The results show that the properties of the GAZO/ITIO films were strongly dependentmore »« less

Effect of film thickness on structural and mechanical properties of AlCrN nanocompoite thin films deposited by reactive DC magnetron sputtering

Journal Article Prakash, Ravi ; Kaur, Davinder - AIP Conference Proceedings

In this study, the influence of film thickness on the structural, surface morphology and mechanical properties of Aluminum chromium nitride (AlCrN) thin films has been successfully investigated. The AlCrN thin films were deposited on silicon (100) substrate using dc magnetron reactive co-sputtering at substrate temperature 400° C. The structural, surface morphology and mechanical properties were studied using X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation techniques respectively. The thickness of these thin films was controlled by varying the deposition time therefore increase in deposition time led to increase in film thickness. X-ray diffraction pattern of AlCrN thin films with differentmore »« less

Effect of La filling on thermoelectric properties of La{sub x}Co{sub 3.6}Ni{sub 0.4}Sb{sub 12}-filled skutterudite prepared by MA-HP method

Journal Article Junyou, Yang ; Yuehua, Chen ; Wen, Zhu ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Starting from elemental powder mixtures, single-phase La{sub x}Co{sub 3.6}Ni{sub 0.4}Sb{sub 12}(x=0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.6)-filled skutterudites were synthesized via the route of mechanical alloying-hot pressing (MA-HP) in this paper. With increasing of La fraction, the lattice spacing of filled skutterudite phase increases and its variation follows the Vegard's law. The magnitude of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity show slight increases with increasing of La filling fraction; thermal conductivity of the filled skutterudite decreases and the resultant figure of merit increases with increase of La filling fraction. The as-HPed filled skutterudite has a composite nanocrystalline microstructure, which includes some coral-like clustersmore »« less
