Enhanced thermoelectric properties of p-type nanostructured PbTe–MTe (M = Cd, Hg) materials†
Abstract
We investigated the effect of Cd and Hg substitution on the thermoelectric properties of p-type PbTe–x% CdTe and PbTe–x% HgTe (1 ≤ x ≤ 5) doped with Na2Te. Both ingot samples and spark plasma sintered (
