Size effects in lead telluride thin films and thermoelectric properties
(Institute of Thermoelectricity, 2013) Olkhovskaya, S. I.; Rogacheva, E. I.
The influence of thickness d on thermoelectric properties (the Seebeck coefficient S, electric conductivity σ, the Hall coefficient RH, charge carrier mobility μН) of films d = 8 – 170 nm in thickness, prepared by vacuum evaporation of PbTe crystals with lead excess onto (001) KCl substrates coated with Al2O3 layer has been studied. It has been established that films with d < 75 nm possess hole conductivity, and at d > 75 nm carrier transport is determined by n-type charge carriers. The inversion of conductivity sign close to d ≈ 75 nm is attributed to a change in thermodynamic equilibrium conditions in the films as compared to crystal, as well as to material evaporation and condensation features. Oscillations on the d-dependences of the kinetic coefficients of films with p-type conductivity are attributable to quantization of the hole gas of carriers. Calculation of oscillation period Δd using a model of infinitely deep rectangular potential well is in good agreement with the experimentally determined Δd value. For n-type conductivity films the values of kinetic coefficients increase with increase in d, which points to manifestation of a classical size effect.
Dependences of thermoelectric properties on the thickness of thin films of indium doped lead telluride
(Institute of Thermoelectricity, 2014) Menshikova, S. I.; Rogacheva, E. I.; Sipatov, A. Yu.; Matychenko, P. V.; Dobrotvorskaya, M. V.
Dependences of thermoelectric properties (the Seebeck coefficient S, the electric conductivity σ, the Hall coefficient RH, the carrier mobilityμ and the thermoelectric power P = S²·σ) on the thickness d (d = 10 – 255 nm) of thin films prepared by vacuum evaporation of indiumdoped PbTe crystals and subsequent condensation on (111) BaF₂ substrates were obtained. With decreasing thickness of films to d ≈ 40 nm, there is n- to p-type inversion of conduction which is related to a change in thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and partial reevaporation of lead and/or indium atoms. Extremes were found on the thickness dependences of properties at d₁ ≈ 20 nm which is indicative of hole gas quantization. In the range of thicknesses with n-type conduction there is a smooth change in thermoelectric properties with thickness which testifies to manifestation of classical size effect and is sufficiently well described in the framework of the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory.
Size effects in thin n-PbTe films
(STC "Institute for Single Crystals", 2015) Menshikova, S. I.; Rogacheva, E. I.; Sipatov, A. Yu.; Zubarev, Evgeniy N.
Size effects in chlorine doped PbSe thin films
(Institute of Thermoelectricity, 2015) Menshikova, S. I.; Rogacheva, E. I.; Sipatov, A. Yu.; Krivonogov, S. I.; Matychenko, P. V.
The possibility of obtaining strongly degenerate (≈ 3·10²⁰ сm⁻³) PbSe thin films (d = 5 – 220 nm) with n-type conductivity by thermal evaporation in vacuum of PbSe crystals doped with PbCl₂, with subsequent condensation onto (001) KCl substrates was established. It was shown that the films had high homogeneity degree, no grain structure was observed. The thickness dependences of thermoelectric properties (the Seebeck coefficient S, the Hall coefficient RH and the electric conductivity σ) of thin films were obtained. In the thickness range d ≈ 5 ÷ 30 nm, oscillation properties were observed with growth of d that are attributable to electron gas quantization. The calculation of S(d) dependence on the assumption of size quantization with regard to contribution of several subbands and the thickness dependence of the Fermi energy was shown to be in agreement with the experimental data. In the region of d > 30 nm there was growth of S and σ with thickness, which is attributable to manifestation of classical size effect and interpreted in the framework of Fuchs-Sondheimer and Mayer theories.
