    Journal of Ovonic Research Vol. 1, No. 5, October 2005, p. 53 - 60 PHASE EQUILIBRIUM IN THE SYSTEMS AIV – BVI Part. II Systems Germanium-Chalcogen D. I. Bletskan* Uzhgorod University, Uzhgorod, Ukraine The phases in the system germanium – chalcogen are reviewed. The phase transitions are discussed. 1.4 System Ge-S The phase diagram T-x of the binary system Ge-S has been firstly built by A. V. Novoselova et al. [39] using the data of thermal and X-ray analysis. Thereafter, the regions of the phase diagrams of the system Ge-S in the neighborhood of GeS and GeS2 have been carefully determined in [40-44] and are represented in Fig. 1.4. In this system there were found two stable chemical compounds, whose stoichiometric compositions correspond to GeS and GeSe2. The temperature conditions of GeS and GeS2 synthesis, the melting character and melting temperature, given in the literature, are different. Thus, the melting temperature of GeS, after the data of various authors are 938 K [39, 42], 940 K [40], 931 K [41, 46]. Many research reports [39, 42-44] show that GeS compound melts congruently. Nevertheless, in the papers [40, 41, 46] is demonstrated that, during very slow heating, GeS melts incongruently, according to the peritectic reaction: GeS(solid) = Ge(solid) + Liq(53 at.% S) (1.4) In the system Ge-S, on the germanium side, there is a large domain (3÷45 at.% S) of layer separation in the liquid state (stratification) with one phase rich in germanium and a phase with the composition approaching GeS.

  • Preparation of Bismuth Telluride Specimens for TEM
    Preparation of Bismuth Telluride Specimens for TEM Mark Homer1, Douglas L. Medlin2 1,2. Sandia National Laboratories, Energy Nanomaterials Dept., Livermore CA, USA Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys are an important class of thermoelectric material. How well a thermoelectric material works is dependent on a variety of factors such as electrical and thermal conductivity and the Seeback coefficient. Because the electrical and thermal conductivity can be affected by defects in the material, there is much interest in the basic understanding the microstructures of these materials [1]. There are challenges in preparation of TEM specimens from telluride-based materials due to their sensitivity to ion-milling artifacts. For instance, nanoscale defect arrangements have been shown to form in lead telluride (PbTe) specimens prepared under aggressive ion milling conditions if cooling and power density is not suitably controlled [2]. In this presentation we discuss methods and conditions for preparing TEM specimens of Bi2Te3 specimens considering both ion-milling and electropolishing techniques. In all cases TEM specimens were mechanically pre-thinned using conventional mechanical dimpling and polishing techniques prior to final thinning to electron transparency. The ion-milled specimens were prepared with Ar+ ion sputtering using a Fischione Model 1010 ion mill with LN cooling. The electropolished specimens were prepared using a Fischione Model 120 electropolisher and an electrolyte consisting of 53% water, 38% glycerol, 5% sodium hydroxide, and 4% tartaric acid. The electrolyte was set in an ice bath and cooled to 2° C, and electropolished at 25V and 35mA. Figures 1 and 2 show dark-field TEM micrographs comparing ion milled and electropolished Bi2Te3 specimens.

  • High-Throughput Physical Vapour Deposition Flexible Thermoelectric Generators
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN High-throughput physical vapour deposition fexible thermoelectric generators Received: 14 January 2019 Katrina A. Morgan 1, Tian Tang2, Ioannis Zeimpekis 1, Andrea Ravagli1, Chris Craig1, Accepted: 25 February 2019 Jin Yao1, Zhuo Feng1, Dmitry Yarmolich3, Clara Barker 2, Hazel Assender2 & Published: xx xx xxxx Daniel W. Hewak1 Flexible thermoelectric generators (TEGs) can provide uninterrupted, green energy from body-heat, overcoming bulky battery confgurations that limit the wearable-technologies market today. High- throughput production of fexible TEGs is currently dominated by printing techniques, limiting material choices and performance. This work investigates the compatibility of physical vapour deposition (PVD) techniques with a fexible commercial process, roll-to-roll (R2R), for thermoelectric applications. We demonstrate, on a fexible polyimide substrate, a sputtered Bi2Te3/GeTe TEG with Seebeck coefcient (S) of 140 μV/K per pair and output power (P) of 0.4 nW per pair for a 20 °C temperature diference. For the frst time, thermoelectric properties of R2R sputtered Bi2Te3 flms are reported and we demonstrate the ability to tune the power factor by lowering run times, lending itself to a high- speed low-cost process. To further illustrate this high-rate PVD/R2R compatibility, we fabricate a TEG using Virtual Cathode Deposition (VCD), a novel high deposition rate PVD tool, for the frst time. This Bi2Te3/Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 TEG exhibits S = 250 μV/K per pair and P = 0.2 nW per pair for a 20 °C temperature diference. Termoelectric generators (TEGs) can provide constant power for fexible electronic platforms. Using the body’s warmth, they do not rely on solar power, unlike photovoltaic generators, or on the user’s ftness, unlike elec- tromagnetic induction generators.

  • Electronic Properties of Lead Telluride Quantum Wells
    Electronic Properties of Lead Telluride Quantum Wells Liza Mulder Smith College 2013 NSF/REU Program Physics Department, University of Notre Dame Advisors: Profs. Jacek Furdyna, Malgorzata Dobrowolska, and Xinyu Liu Thanks also to: Rich Pimpinella, Joseph Hagmann, and Xiang Li Abstract My research this summer has focused on measuring the electronic properties of quantum wells that combine two families of semiconductors, specifically Cadmium Telluride and Lead Telluride (CdTe/PbTe/CdTe), whose interfaces hold promise of Topological Crystalline Insulator (TCI) surface states. The samples used in my study are grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy, and measured using Magneto Transport experiments. I have found that samples grown on higher temperature substrates have higher charge carrier mobilities and lower carrier concentrations, while the resistivity shows no significant change. These results will be used as a guide toward designing future structures for observing and characterizing TCI surface states. Introduction Semiconductors have many applications in electronic devices, and as these devices become smaller and smaller, so do their components. Hence the importance of understanding the complex surface states of semiconductors. Some of these surfaces are also possible examples of Topological Insulators (TIs) or Topological Crystalline Insulators (TCIs). By studying semiconductors in the form of thin films, quantum wells, nanowires, and quantum dots, researchers hope to better understand semiconductors in this form, to measure the electronic and magnetic properties of their surface states, and to discover new examples of TIs and TCIs. This summer I studied the electronic properties of Cadmium Telluride - Lead Telluride (CdTe/PbTe:Bi/CdTe) quantum well structures. The samples are grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy, and measured using Magneto Transport.
