Thermoelectric materials are special types of semiconductors that function as "heat pumps" and as heat-to-electricity converters. Thermoelectric power generation allows for small size, high reliability, and quiet operation. Efficient thermoelectric-based heat-to-electricity converters require higher
Compositionally homogeneous Si 0.52 Ge 0.48 bulk crystals were grown under a mild temperature gradient using a Si(seed)/Ge/Si(feed) sandwich structure for thermoelectric (TE) applications. The furnace temperature was kept constant for 300 h for the growth of homogeneous Si 1 Γ x Ge x bulk crystal wi
