Thermoelectric power of vacuum evaporated PbTe films

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

Variation of thermoelectric power with thickness of the vacuum evaporated PbTe films has been investigated. The films were deposited on mica, glass, quartz and LiF substrates, under identical conditions. Attempts have been made to derive a relation which represents the variation of thermoelectric power with thickness of the film. The temperature variation of thermoelectric power has also bsen studied.
