Mg 2 Si polycrystals have been grown by heat treatment of bulk Si under Mg vapor. The structural property of the Mg 2 Si has been investigated. The Mg 2 Si shows n-type conduction. The impurity doping to obtain p-Mg 2 Si was also demonstrated. In addition, simple fabrication procedure of Mg 2 Si thermoelectric generators has been developed.
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.
