Abstract

Superlattices offer the potential to enhance the figure of merit for thermoelectric cooling by increasing the Seebeck coefficient while decreasing the thermal conductivity compared to bulk samples. The large bulk value of ZT makes superlattices containing Bi2Te3 attractive for demonstrating benefits of using low-dimensional materials in thermoelectric applications. The present work describes measurements of the effective thermal conductivity normal to Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 superlattices deposited on GaAs using noncontact pulsed laser heating and thermoreflectance thermometry. The data show a strong reduction in the effective thermal conductivity of the Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 superlattices compared to bulk Bi2Te3, which can further increase thermoelectric figure of merit. The dependence of thermal conductivity on superlattice period is found to be weak, particularly at periods above 60 Å. This indicates that disorder in Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 superlattices may limit the heat conduction process at shorter periods than in Si/Ge superlattices, for which measurements were previously reported in the literature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
