Size effects in thin n-PbTe films

The effect of the film thickness d on the Seebeck coefficient S, the Hall coefficient RH, electrical conductivity σ, charge carrier mobility μH and thermoelectric power factor S²σ of thin films (d = 7-235 nm) prepared by thermal evaporation of n-type PbTe polycrystals doped with InTe in vacuum onto...
