On the basis of theoretical model of quantum well (QW) with infinitely high walls it was investigated thermoelectric parameters depending on the thickness of the layer of nanostructures IV-VI (PbS, PbSe, PbTe) in the approximation of changing Fermi energy. There have been shown that the dependences of the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factor on well width for lead chalcogenides nanofilms are in good agreement with the experimental data. So, that proves the correctness of used model.
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.
