Low Temperature Thermoelectric Characterization of Ag2Se
Abstract
Previous work on Ag2Se showed that this n-type material could have a dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) ~1 at room temperature, due to its high mobility and low thermal conductivity. However, the results from the initial reports have not yet been reproduced. In this talk, I will summarize our efforts to replicate the aforementioned thermoelectric performance, and also discuss the experimental setup that we utilized in order to perform the low-temperature thermoelectric characterization of this material.
