Investigating the structural and thermoelectric properties of Se doped In2Te3 thin films for potential applications in phase change memory and thermoelectric devices.
研究成果
The study concludes that Se doped In2Te3 thin films exhibit significant phase transitions upon annealing, leading to changes in structural and thermoelectric properties. The films show potential for applications in phase change memory and thermoelectric devices, with the lower Se doped composition exhibiting better thermoelectric performance.
