![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Thermoelectric properties of Eu- and Na-substituted SnTe Thermoelectric properties of Eu- and Na-substituted SnTe](/preview/png/1259888.png)
Thermoelectric properties of spark-plasma-sintering prepared bulk materials EuxNay▪zSn1–x–y–zTe above room temperature were investigated. The implementation of Eu and Na into the SnTe lattice was monitored by refinement of lattice parameters as well as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The binary SnTe achieved the highest ZT value of 0.63 at 786 K, and showed a hole concentration of 4.6×1019 cm−3 at 300 K. In comparison with pristine SnTe, the samples containing Eu had lower carrier mobility but higher Hall carrier concentration. For Eu- and Na-substituted samples, the increased hole concentration was unfavorable for the improvement of thermoelectric properties.
