| Abstract | This paper describes the results of thermoelectric measurements carried out by our group on Pb-Sn-Te alloy thin films of different compositions, prepared by vacuum thermal flash evaporation. The compositions studied were Pb/sub 0.8/Sn/sub 0.2/Te, Pb/sub 0.6/Sn/sub 0.4/Te, Pb/sub 0.5/Sn/sub 0.5/Te and Pb/sub 0.4/Sn/sub 0.6/Te. Thin films of the ternary alloy Pb/sub 0.8/Sn/sub 0.2/Te with excess 1% Te doping was also studied to see the effect of excess Te on the thermoelectric properties. The electrical resistivity of the films was also measured simultaneously, and both the thermoelectric power and electrical resistivity data were analyzed by the effective mean free path model. Out of the compositions studied, it was found that 1% Te excess doped Pb/sub 0.8/Sn/sub 0.2/Te alloy thin films showed the best thermoelectric power and figure of merit values. However, these values were lower than the bulk values as is to be expected due to the high electrical resistivity of thin films compared to the bulk. Whereas the thermoelectric power of Pb/sub 0.8/Sn/sub 0.2/Te thin films was of the order of 240 /spl mu/V/K, the thermoelectric power of thin films of other compositions was around 150-180 /spl mu/V/K only. It was found that thicker films showed a higher figure of merit whereas thinner films showed a lower figure of merit. This is due to the fact that thinner film resistivity is higher than the thicker ones due to the classical size effect, i.e., larger additional surface scattering contribution. The details of the results obtained on different composition thin films are discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
