Functionally graded PbTe-based compound for thermoelectric applications

The present study summarizes a feasibility study of the influence of the graded indium profile that is set up by the diffusion of indium from an external source, on the transport properties of PbTe crystals. PbTe crystals were grown by Czochralski technique. The penetration profiles of indium, diffu...
