Thermoelectrical parameters of fast neutron irradiated GeSi alloys

Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to determine the effect of neutron irradiation on the thermoelectric properties of GeSi alloys. The experimental values are interpreted by relatively simple expressions. Negative as well as positive changes of the investigated parameters are observed, which begin to appear if the concentration of radiation defects N′D is greater than the concentration of intrinsic defects ND0 before irradiation.
