Analysis of nanostructuring in high figure-of-merit Ag{sub 1-x}Pb{sub m}SbTe{sub 2+m} thermoelectric materials.
The nanostructuring occurring in the AgPb{sub 18}SbTe{sub 20} system is documented and it is shown to contain coherent or semi-coherent Ag-rich nano-inclusions, most in range of 2 to 30 nm embedded in an essentially PbTe matrix. The analysis of the nanostructuring supports the mechanism believed to be responsible for achieving a high thermoelectric figure-of-merit.
