Thin-Film Fabrication For High Pressure Thermoelectric And Electrical Resistivity Studies, Jorge L. Reynaga, Rama Venkat, Ravhi S. Kumar

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)

Thermoelectric materials are of interest for application such as thermoelectric cooler in microprocessors and power generators in cars. High pressure plays an important role in understanding the changes in the figure of merit of thermoelectric thin films. To study the thermoelectric thin films a direct approach is to fabricate the thin film on the surface of a diamond anvil, so that the pressure dependence of structure and transport properties can be investigated easily. If we could successfully fabricate the electrical probes by depositing thin films, then it reduces the use of electrical wires as probes inside the diamond cell, as …
