摘要
考虑到富含锑的次生相颗粒(SPPs)的晶体学特征会极大地影响基于 Bi2Te3 材料的热电性能,因此探索 p 型(Bi, Sb)2Te3 材料中富含锑的次生相颗粒背后的机理具有重要意义。本文采用传统的 TEM 技术来表征火花等离子烧结 p 型 (Bi, Sb)2Te3 合金中富 Sb SPPs 的组成、尺寸和分布。结果表明,富Sb SPPs经常出现两种不同的形态,包括拉长的富Sb SPPs和圆形的富Sb SPPs。结合高分辨率透射电子显微镜,这项研究为(Bi,Sb)2Te3 材料中富硒 SPP 的形成机制提供了原子尺度的证据。
Uncovering the crystallography and formation mechanism of nanoscale clusters in Sb-rich SPPs of a p-type (Bi, Sb)2Te3 alloy†
Considering that the crystallographic characteristics of the Sb-rich secondary phase particles (SPPs) greatly affect the thermoelectric properties of Bi2Te3 based materials, it is of great significance to explore the mechanism behind the Sb-rich SPPs in the p-type (Bi, Sb)2Te3 material. Here a conventional TEM technique was used to characterize the composition, size and distribution of Sb-rich SPPs in a spark plasma sintered p-type (Bi, Sb)2Te3 alloy. The results indicated that two different morphologies of Sb-rich SPPs including elongated and circular Sb-rich SPPs were frequently observed. Combined with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, this work provides atomic-scale evidence for the formation mechanism behind the Sb-rich SPPs in the (Bi, Sb)2Te3 material.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
