THERMOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OP SELENIDES AND TELLURIDES OP GROUPS VB AMD VIB METALS AND THEIR SOLID SOLUTIONS

摘要

Improved procedures in synthesis and in measurements have eliminated unreproducibilities in tantalum-doped tungsten diselenide preparations, giving a well-substantiated Figure of Merit of about 0.5 x 10-3/deg in the 500-1000C range. An apparatus for direct efficiency measurements is under construction.
