Nanometerscale textured layers were achieved by annealing corresponding elemental layers, deposited in nanometerscale thickness which fits to the intended stoichiometry of the resulting compounds. The compound formation as well as the accompanying thermoelectric properties are reported. The compound formation corresponds in particular to the evolution of the Seebeck coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
