| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A liquid-phase growth process using a graphite sliding boat was applied for synthesis of p-type Bi_<0.5>Sb_<1.5>Te_<3> and Cu-doped n-type Bi_<2>Te_<2.85>Se_<0.15> thermoelectric materials. Thick sheets and bars of 1 mm and 2 mm in thickness having preferable crystal orientation for thermoelectric conversion were successfully prepared by the process. By control of carrier concentration, the large power factor of approximately 4 mW/K2m was obtained near 300 K for both p- and n-type materials with good reproducibility.
