Enhancing thermoelectric properties of crystalline silicon through high energy heavy ion irradiation
This study introduces latent ion tracks through high-energy heavy ion irradiation on monocrystalline Si. The significant impact of extremely weak localized strain fields along the ion trajectory on phonon and carrier transport was investigated. The thermoelectric properties are modulated by varying the irradiation fluences. After high-energy irradiation with Ta ions at a fluence of 4.4 × 1011 cm−2, the thermal conductivity significantly decreases by 44.90 %, the Seebeck coefficient rises by 11.01 %, the electric resistivity increases slightly by 5.58 %, and the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) at room temperature changes significantly by 112 % compared to that of the original Si. The result offers new insights into the physical properties of particle track regions, and presents a novel approach for optimizing the thermoelectric properties of Si.
期刊介绍:
Applied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.
