Research Abstract |
This project was aimed to develop high performance thermoelectric devices which can directly convert the heat flux to the electrical current. Theoretically, it has been expected that the dimensional controlling, namely developing the two-dimensional device, i. e. thin layered devices as well as two-dimensional layered synthetic crystals might exhibit enhanced thermoelectric performance. Recently, one paper showed that high-performance 2D-device ; i. e., being 2. 5 times high relative to the 3D one, was developed. In this project, thin pulsed laser deposition films, vacuum evaporation films and synthetic layered semiconductors were studied.
