Abstract:We have investigated the thermoelectric properties of Na-doped Mg 2 Si 0.25 Sn 0.75 solid solutions prepared by liquid-solid reaction and hot-pressing methods.Na doping was carried out by mixing sodium acetate (CH 3 COONa) into the starting materials Mg (nominal purity: 99.9 %), Sn (99.999 %) granules, and Si powder (99.9999 %).The Na-doped samples had p-type conductivity with positive signs of Seebeck and Hall coefficients.Furthermore, hole concentrations increased rapidly with an increase in the amount of Na… Show more
