Iron Disilicide as a Base for New Improved Thermoelectrics Creation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
It is well known that the temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient of β-iron disilicide has unusual shape that cannot be described by an ordinary theory. A theory describing such a shape is suggested. It is shown this shape can be explained by optical phonon drag effect. Very high value of ZT could be achieved in some material on the base of this effect.
