| Research Abstract |
For the application of thermoelectric materials to power generation, it is desirable to shift the peak temperature of the thermoelectric power factor up to, e.g., 600 K and above. The disadvantages of Fe2VAl-based thermoelectric materials are a peak temperature of the thermoelectric power factor of <400 K and a high thermal conductivity value. To improve the thermoelectric properties of the Fe2VAl-based alloys, the aims of my five-year research project were to explore new doping and substitution elements, and clarify the mechanism by which their thermoelectric properties are improved. The results are:1) Improvement of the thermoelectric properties of the Heusler Fe2VAl alloys due to the fabrication of the off-stoichiometric type Fe2V1+xAl1-x and fourth-element doping type Fe2VAl1-yTay alloys. 2) Clarification of the improvement of the thermoelectric properties of the Heusler Fe2VAl alloys. 3) Development of a thin- film deposition system for the fabrication of Fe2VAl thin films.
