摘要:

PbSe的热电性能在最近几年有了显著的提高,达到了ZT 1.6的优值。空穴掺杂的高温热电材料PbSe的输运性质特别令人感兴趣,并且在其中起着关键作用。在这里,他们在很宽的温度和空穴浓度范围内进行了分析。实验中观察到的塞贝克系数和霍尔系数的变化的特殊功能,可以占内的两个频带模型的框架。两个价带分开的温度依赖的能量偏移被认为是。在室温下,轻空穴带的极值态密度质量为0.27mo。它是非抛物线和各向异性的,可以用凯恩模型来描述。重空穴带的极值是各向同性的抛物线型,态密度大得多,质量为2.5mo。我们发现,对于重掺杂的组合物的高质量带贡献的塞贝克系数,即使在室温下。随着温度的升高,空穴从轻空穴转移到重空穴分支,产生反常的温度依赖霍尔系数,在650K附近达到峰值。

英文摘要:

The thermoelectric properties of PbSe have significantly improved in recent years reaching figures of merit ZT 1.6. The transport properties of the hole doped high temperature thermoelectric material PbSe are particularly interesting and play a key role in this. Here they were analyzed over a wide temperature and hole concentration ranges. The special features observed in the variation of the experimental Seebeck coefficient, and Hall coefficient can be accounted for within the framework of a two band model. Two valence bands separated by a temperature dependent energy offset are considered. The extremum of the light hole band has a density of states mass 0.27mo at room temperature. It is non-parabolic and anisotropic and can be described by the Kane model. The extremum of the heavy hole band is isotropic and parabolic with a much larger density of states mass 2.5mo. We find that for heavily doped compositions the high mass band contributes the Seebeck coefficient even at room temperature. With rising temperature holes are transferred from the light hole to the heavy hole branch giving rise to the anomalous temperature dependent Hall coefficient which is found peaked near 650 K.
