Anisotropic thermoelectric properties of the layered compounds PbSb2Te4 and PbBi4Te7

Single crystals of the ternary layered compounds PbSb2Te4 (p-type) and PbBi4Te7 (n-type) have been grown by Czochralski pulling with melt supply through a floating crucible. The in-plane and out-of-plane thermoelectric power, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of the PbSb2Te4 and PbBi...

Summary:Single crystals of the ternary layered compounds PbSb2Te4 (p-type) and PbBi4Te7 (n-type) have been grown by Czochralski pulling with melt supply through a floating crucible. The in-plane and out-of-plane thermoelectric power, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of the PbSb2Te4 and PbBi4Te7 crystals and related alloys have been measured in the temperature range 85-340 K. The results attest to a significant thermoelectric anisotropy in the crystals, especially in the p-type material PbSb2Te4.
