Abstract

Bulk nanostructured polycrystals are prospective thermoelectrics. Fabrication and examination of nanostructured polycrystalline p-Bi-Sb-Te are discussed. The influence of fabrication conditions and the composition of the material on sizes of nanograins was investigated experimentally. Basic physical properties of fabricated nanothermoelectrics including nanocomposites were also studied. Theoretical estimation of the influence of phonon scattering on nanograin boundaries in bulk nanostructured thermoelectrics is presented.
