Abstract

Multi-layered Ce0.09Fe0.67Co3.33Sb12/FeSb2.1Te structures composed of thin equidistant layers of different thickness were prepared by pulsed laser deposition on fused silica quartz glass substrates. The structures were prepared at substrate temperatures (230 degrees C or 250 degrees C) applying the same laser beam energy density (3 J cm(-2)). In the contribution we present some thermoelectric properties such as in-plane electrical conductivity, the Seebeck coefficient and the power factor of the multi-layered structures in the temperature range from 300 K to 500 K. Comparison of multi-layered structure's thermoelectric properties with single thin Ce0.09Fe0.67Co3.33Sb12 and FeSb2.1Te layers is given. X-ray diffraction patterns are shown. A cross-sectional picture of the multi-layered structure made by scanning electron microscope is given for the thicker multi-layered structure.
