InAs-CrAs systems are synthesized by the vertical Bridgman–Stockbarger method. XRD analysis and microstructural study of InAs-CrAs composites show that CrAs metallic inclusions are uniformly distributed in the InAs matrices. By investigating of microstructure of InAs-CrAs eutectic composite by electron microscope, it has been established that the interfacial zone between the semiconductor matrix and metallic inclusions is generated. In computations of effective electrical and thermal conductivity of the composite were taken into account the role of these interfacial zones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
