Abstract:We report on the characterization of the thermoelectric properties of Bi2Se3 epifilms. MBE-grown Bi2Se3 films on GaAs (111) A are nanomachined with integrated Pt elements serving as local joule heaters, thermometers, and voltage probes. We suspended a 4 µm × 120 µm Bi2Se3 by nanomachining techniques. Specifically, we selectively etched GaAs buffer/substrate layers by citric acid solution followed by a critical point drying method. We found that the self-heating 3ω method is an appropriate technique for the acc… Show more
