摘要:

纳米结构有望改善材料的热电性能,用于能量转换和光电探测。我们报告了一个由单一金属制成的薄膜纳米线器件的光热电电压的空间分布的研究。聚焦激光束用于通过直接吸收和激发Au器件中的等离子体共振的组合来局部加热金属纳米结构。如前所述,在比激光光斑尺寸短的纳米线中,我们观察到与局部塞贝克系数在空间上依赖于纳米结构的宽度一致的热电电压分布。在较长的结构中,我们观察到极端的变化,净热电电压的激光点沿纳米线的长度扫描。热电电压的符号和大小对纳米线的结构缺陷、金属颗粒结构和表面钝化敏感。这一发现开辟了改善纳米级热电性能局部控制的可能性。

英文摘要:

Nanoscale structuring holds promise to improve thermoelectric properties of materials for energy conversion and photodetection. We report a study of the spatial distribution of the photothermoelectric voltage in thin-film nanowire devices fabricated from single metal. A focused laser beam is used to locally heat the metal nanostructure via a combination of direct absorption and excitation of a plasmon resonance in Au devices. As seen previously, in nanowires shorter than the spot size of the laser, we observe a thermoelectric voltage distribution that is consistent with the local Seebeck coefficient being spatially dependent on the width of the nanostructure. In longer structures, we observe extreme variability of the net thermoelectric voltage as the laser spot is scanned along the length of the nanowire. The sign and magnitude of the thermoelectric voltage is sensitive to the structural defects, metal grain structure, and surface passivation of the nanowire. This finding opens the possibility of improved local control of the thermoelectric properties at the nanoscale.
