Abstract:PbSe is a simple binary compound that has been studied extensively for use as a promising moderate-temperature thermoelectric material. In this Letter, we report the observation of the light-induced transverse thermoelectric (TTE) effect in c-axis inclined PbSe thin films that were grown epitaxially on c-axis miscut SrTiO3 single crystal substrates using the pulsed laser deposition technique. Because of the anisotropic Seebeck coefficient of these inclined PbSe thin films, high TTE voltage signals were detecte… Show more
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.
