Thermoelectric properties of crystallized boron carbide thin films prepared by ion-beam evaporation

Thermoelectric properties of boron-carbide thin film and thin film based thermoelectric device fabricated by intense-pulsed ion beam evaporation

“…High density ablation plasma produced by irradiation of pulsed ion-beam onto the target is solidified on the substrate and thin film with almost the same composition as that of target is formed. The B 13 C 2 film fabricated by IBE possesses reasonable TE properties at room temperature [8].…”

Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of BaMn2Sb2 single crystals

“…For thermoelectric generation application, many efforts have been made on Si-Ge alloy [2], boron carbides [3], filledskutterudites [4,5], type-I Ge-based clathrates [6,7], Zn 3 Sb 4 [8], Na x Co 2 O 4 [9], and PbTe-based materials [10][11][12]. However, Zintl phase compounds have recently attracted much attention owing to their good thermoelectric properties at high temperatures.…”

Evolution of Crystallographic Structures and Phases in Micropyretically Formed Boron Rich Boron Carbide – a New Material System

“…A number of secondary experiments, graphical simulation and calculations were performed to confirm the presence of poly crystalline phases. These were carried out especially where the percentages of phases were less and when the pattern breaking was critical because of peak over laps, experimental, compositional, structural, machinery and algorithms limitations [23]. Lattice constants were calculated from the peak positions in the XRD profiles using peaks existing up to 50 0 of two theta values.…”
