Abstract
The Thomson effect induces heat release or absorption under the simultaneous application of a charge current and a temperature gradient to conductors. Here, we theoretically investigate the temperature profile due to the Thomson-effect-induced heat release/absorption in junctionless single conductors which can be a simple temperature modulator. We also perform analysis of the temperature profile for realistic conductors. As a result, we find that, for a conductor with a large Thomson coefficient, the temperature derivative of the Seebeck coefficient, the Thomson-effect-induced heat absorption overcomes the Joule heating, resulting in current-induced cooling in the bulk region. We also elucidate that a feedback effect of the Thomson effect stabilizes the system temperature to one-side of the heat bath, which reflects the fact that the Thomson effect is dependent on the position and proportional to the local temperature gradient. This work will be the basis for thermal management utilizing the Thomson effect.

AbstractSeveral techniques exist that use a thermoelectric element (TE) or module (TM) to measure precise dimensionless figure of merit (zT), both qualitatively and quantitatively. The techniques can be applied using both alternating (AC) and direct current (DC). Herein, the transient Harman (TH) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) methods were investigated as direct zT measurement techniques using identical TM, which showed that zT at 300 K was 0.767 and 0.811 within several minutes and several hours, respectively. The zT values differed despite the use of the same TM, which revealed that measuring ohmic resistance using DC and pulse DC is potentially misleading owing to the influence of Peltier heat on current flow. In this study, time domain impedance spectroscopy (TDIS) was proposed as a new technique to measure zT using proper DC and AC. zT obtained using TDIS was 0.811 within several minutes using the time and frequency domains, and was perfectly consistent with the result of the IS method. In conclusion, the TDIS is highly appropriate in estimating zT directly using only proper electrometric measurements, and without any heat measurements.Springer Science and Business Media {LLC}, English, Scientific journal

This study has investigated variations in the carrier scattering mechanisms of polycrystalline bismuth based on the temperature dependence of its transport coefficients across a range of temperatures from 10 to 300 K. A measurement of the continuous temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient revealed the characteristic extremes of its temperature-based parameters to be less than 50 K. The results demonstrated a clear variation in the component of the scattering mechanism pertaining to acoustic deformation. Furthermore, the temperature dependencies of carrier density, mobility, chemical potential, and band gap energy were also comprehensively investigated to determine their influence on carrier transport. The information obtained in this study is quite relevant for the realization of the carrier transport of Bi nanowire. The carrier transport of the wire exhibits a mean free path that is equivalent to the wire diameter and has been expected to introduce a quantum effect, thus enhancing the thermoelectric performance.

The influence of contact resistance between a polycrystalline bismuth as a basic thermoelectric material and electrodes made of copper using binders of Ag epoxy and conventional solder was investigated to estimate the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) via impedance spectroscopy (IS). The frequency dependence of the impedance using both binders was measured at 300 K under an appropriate alternating current because a considerably larger Peltier heat was required, relative to Joule heat, for estimating the zT precisely. Through the duo-IS method, zT at 300 K was estimated to be 0.126 0.004 and 0.130 0.002 using the Ag epoxy and solder, respectively. The temperature dependence of zT from 300 to 30 K was also estimated, and zT >
0.01 was a practical based on this technique, owing to its signal-noise ratio. The duo-IS method is invaluable for estimating zT in the entire temperature region based on an appropriate configuration.

We propose an impedance spectroscopy (IS)-based model to determine the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) of a commercialized BiTe-based thermoelectric module in the time and frequency domains. In this method, the transient response of the resistance is measured for different current ranges and an apparent current dependence of the measured resistance is observed in the steady state. We successfully explain the experimental results using the model wherein the dependence is caused by the heat balance between the Peltier heat and Joule heat. In addition, a necessary condition of the balance is required to reproduce the experimental value of zT theoretically. Furthermore, we experimentally determined zT using the measured resistance in the time domain and we applied the IS-based model in the frequency domain for comparison. In the time and frequency domains, we obtained zT = 0.842 ± 0.006 and 0.834 ± 0.001, respectively, by applying the appropriate current for neglecting the influence of the Joule heat
a negligible difference was obtained in the results, as verified via temperature dependent estimation. Through this method and the corresponding analysis, we achieved a comprehensive understanding on how to measure zT and the associated error in the measurement, accurately and precisely, during the experiment. We conclude that zT can be determined precisely in the time domain within several minutes using the proposed method that applies an appropriate current across identical thermoelectric modules and elements.

The impedance spectroscopy (IS) method is an efficient technique to evaluate the dimensionless figure of merit (zT) of thermoelectric materials by measuring some impedance values at a wide frequency range. The conventional IS method uses the technique of fitting measured data to estimate zT
however, in our previous work, we showed that zT can also be directly calculated using the measured thermoelectric resistance and ohmic resistance of a sample. Although we successfully estimated zT from two points of impedances whose imaginary components are 0 mΩ, we needed to measure many points of impedances to determine the trend of frequency dependence of impedances and determine specific frequencies. Moreover, discussions on the error of the measured zT caused by the setting values of current frequencies were insufficient. In this paper, we propose the duo-frequency IS method to evaluate the error of the measured zT by relating the phase angle of the measured impedance to the error of zT. Furthermore, appropriate current frequencies are predicted using the proposed method to reduce the measurement time by reducing the data points for calculating zT. The proposed duo-frequency IS method was used to measure the temperature dependence of zT, resistivity, thermal conductivity, and specific heat of a Bi2Te3 bulk material from 125 K to 300 K
the method yielded an error of less than 1% for the measured zT. The results of this study were in good agreement with those obtained in previous studies by using the steady-state method. The proposed duo-frequency IS method simplifies the evaluation of the thermoelectric properties of thermoelectric materials and elucidates the measurement errors caused by the setting frequencies.

Commercialized bulk constantan with a low dimensionless figure of merit and its film fabricated by electroplating were prepared to demonstrate the feasibility of impedance spectroscopy for estimating thermoelectric parameters. From the frequency dependence of the impedance, the resistivity and dimensionless figure of merit were directly estimated as 5.3 × 10-7 Ωm and 0.026 for the bulk and 3.8 × 10-7 Ωm and 0.0098 for the film at room temperature (302 K), respectively. We concluded that impedance spectroscopy is a suitable technique for estimating the thermoelectric parameters of any material with an apparent Seebeck coefficient.

[Reviewed]The dependence of the scattering process on temperatures ranging from 50 to 300 K was comprehensively investigated by measuring five transport coefficients (resistivity, magnetoresistivity, Seebeck coefficient, Hall coefficient, and Nernst coefficient) using polycrystalline bulk bismuth. The values of five physical properties (carrier density, electron and hole mobilities, and electron and hole Fermi energies) were calculated assuming that carrier scattering ranged from acoustic deformation potential scattering to ionized impurity scattering. The accompanying mean-free paths of carriers were also evaluated using the calculated Fermi energy and the effective mass tensor. The mean-free path and grain size (typically several micrometers) obtained from electron backscattered diffraction helped narrow the distribution range of the different scattering processes. Thus, the physical properties, including temperature dependence of the scattering processes, were recalculated, and realistic temperature dependence of the electron mobility was assumed. Quantitative and qualitative analyses showed that near room temperature, acoustic deformation potential scattering dominated, which changed to ionized impurity scattering when the estimated mean-free path exceeded 1 mu m. This indicated that the scattering process of polycrystalline bulk bismuth depends on the grain size when the measurement results of the Nernst coefficient related to the scattering process are directly used. The bandgap energy of bismuth was also calculated, and the temperature dependence of the scattering process was estimated. The results showed that the temperature dependence tendency of bandgap energy is similar to that described in the literature. Finally, this study provides the temperature dependence of the physical properties of polycrystalline bismuth. Published under license by AIP Publishing.

[Reviewed]A carrier scattering process in polycrystalline bismuth at 300 K has been investigated by measuring its Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity, magneto-resistivity, Hall coefficient, and Nernst coefficient and solving the Boltzmann equation under the relaxation time and low magnetic field approximations. All measurements were performed using identical bulk bismuth samples
as a result, the scattering process, carrier density, carrier mobility, and Fermi energy were estimated. It was found that acoustic deformation potential scattering was a dominant process even at a temperature of 300 K. In addition, a new measurement method (called a quasi-AC method) was proposed to determine the Nernst coefficient more quickly as compared to the conventional method. It was also shown that the difference in the Nernst coefficients estimated by the two methods affected other material parameters (such as carrier density, mobility, and Fermi energy) only slightly
however, the accurate determination of the Nernst coefficient was required for elucidating the scattering mechanism and estimating the Fermi energy of the studied material.

[Reviewed]The dimensionless figure of merit and its efficiency for the transient response of a Pi-shaped thermoelectric module are estimated according to the theory of impedance spectroscopy. The effective dimensionless figure of merit is described as a function of the product of the characteristic time to reduce the temperature and the representative angular frequency of the module, which is expressed by the thermal diffusivity and the length of the elements used. The characteristic time required for achieving a higher dimensionless figure of merit and efficiency is derived quantitatively for the transient response using the properties of a commercial thermoelectric module.

[Reviewed]A method to fabricate an electrode on a 110-nm-diameter Bi nanowire, encapsulated in a quartz template, was established using a dual beam instrument equipped with a focused ion beam and a scanning electron microscope. A fabrication method has already been successfully developed to obtain suitable Ohmic contact on both ends of Bi nanowires (several hundred nanometers in diameter) by first polishing the ends of the nanowires, and then depositing titanium/copper thin-films via an ion-plating method. However, with this method, it was difficult to obtain suitable electrodes on Bi nanowires with diameters less than 300 nm. Therefore, in order to understand why it was not possible to establish an electrical contact in small-diameter Bi nanowires, the vertical section of the fabricated electrode and the end of a 110-nm-diameter Bi nanowire were observed using a focused ion beam scanning electron microscope. A vacant area was observed between the end of the nanowire and the titanium thin-film, indicating a possible cause for the electrical contact failure. This implies that the quartz-encapsulated Bi nanowire is selectively removed when it undergoes polishing due to the great difference in hardness between Bi and quartz. A local electrode, which would connect the exposed area of the Bi nanowire and the metal thin-films on the surface of the quartz template, was fabricated by tungsten deposition using an electron beam. After fabrication of the opposite-end electrode by the same method, an electrical connection was successfully confirmed by measuring the voltage between both ends of the metal thin-films with a circuit tester. Ohmic contact was confirmed by measuring the current-voltage characteristics between the fabricated electrodes. As a result, the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient were successfully measured at 300 K.

[Reviewed]The phonon and carrier thermal conductivities of thermoelectric materials were calculated using the Wiedemann-Franz law, Boltzmann equation, and a method we propose in this study called the Debye specific heat method. We prepared polycrystalline n-type doped bismuth telluride (BiTe) and bismuth antimony (BiSb) bulk alloy samples and measured six parameters (Seebeck coefficient, resistivity, thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, magneto-resistivity, and Hall coefficient). The carrier density and mobility were estimated for calculating the carrier thermal conductivity by using the Boltzmann equation. In the Debye specific heat method, the phonon thermal diffusivity, and thermal conductivity were calculated from the temperature dependence of the effective specific heat by using not only the measured thermal conductivity and Debye model, but also the measured thermal diffusivity. The carrier thermal conductivity was also evaluated from the phonon thermal conductivity by using the specific heat. The ratio of carrier thermal conductivity to thermal conductivity was evaluated for the BiTe and BiSb samples, and the values obtained using the Debye specific heat method at 300 K were 52% for BiTe and < 5.5% for BiSb. These values are either considerably larger or smaller than those obtained using other methods. The Dulong-Petit law was applied to validate the Debye specific heat method at 300 K, which is significantly greater than the Debye temperature of the BiTe and BiSb samples, and it was confirmed that the phonon specific heat at 300 K has been accurately reproduced using our proposed method.

[Reviewed]Temperature dependence measurements of resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient were performed using individual bismuth nanowires of 345-nm and 594-nm diameters encased in a quartz template. Each nanowire was confirmed as a single crystal by Laue measurement, and an advanced mean free path model was utilized to explain both temperature dependencies. The model successfully explains the dependence over 100 K, which occurs because the carrier mobility is restricted by boundary scattering at the nanowire surface considering the crystal orientation along the wire length direction, band structure, and isotropic Fermi surface. However, it is difficult to determine the temperature dependence of the resistivity in the low-temperature region, in which a much higher temperature coefficient is indicated, especially at temperatures lower than 50 K. Although we calculated the temperature dependence of the resistivity with the influence of p-type contamination in the nanowire because a positive Seebeck coefficient at low temperatures was observed, an explanation of the resistivity in the low-temperature region has not been developed. Therefore, a hypothesis was introduced in which the hole mobility was not restricted in the nanowire, and the hole mobility was estimated by the mobility ratio from the Seebeck coefficient, the measured resistivity, and the electron mobility using the model. Lastly, the temperature dependence of the resistivity can be explained over the entire temperature region. This result suggests that the scattering mechanism between holes and electrons in the nanowire differs and depends on the crystal orientation in the low-temperature region.

[Reviewed]In this study, the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of bismuth nanowires, several hundred nanometers in diameter, are calculated using the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time approximation. The three-dimensional density of states and properties of single-crystalline bulk bismuth, such as carrier density, effective mass, and mobility, are used in the calculation without considering the quantum size effect. The relaxation times of the electrons and holes are calculated using Matthiessen's rule considering the carrier collisions at the wire boundary. The temperature, crystal orientation, and diameter dependence of the electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient are investigated. The calculation demonstrates that the electrical resistivity increases gradually with decreasing wire diameter, and the temperature coefficient of the electrical resistivity varies from positive to negative at low temperatures for thin wires with diameters less than approximately 500 nm. The diameter dependence of the electrical resistivity varies with the crystal orientation; the increase along the bisectrix axis is larger than that along the binary and trigonal axes. The temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient also strongly depends on the crystal orientation. The absolute value of the negative Seebeck coefficient along the bisectrix axis rapidly decreases with decreasing diameter and even changes sign from negative to positive at low temperatures despite the charge neutrality condition, while the Seebeck coefficients along the binary and trigonal axes do not differ significantly from those of single-crystalline bulk bismuth. We conclude that the thermoelectric properties of bismuth nanowires strongly depend not only on the wire diameter but also on the crystal orientation. Published by AIP Publishing.

[Reviewed]The galvanomagnetic effect is evaluated experimentally and theoretically in an individual bismuth nanowire encapsulated within a quartz template. A small section of the side surface of the encapsulated bismuth nanowire is exposed using focused ion beam processing, and a total of six carbon film electrodes are fabricated on the exposed nanowire surface by in situ deposition in order to be able to perform electrical measurements on the nanowire. The results show that the galvanomagnetic effect in the nanowire is affected by carrier collisions at the nanowire boundary; this is particularly the case at low temperatures. The Hall mobilities of electrons and holes are determined based on the measured Hall coefficient and magnetoresistivity values. It is found that the carrier mobility in the bismuth nanowire is lower than that in bulk bismuth and that it plateaus at low temperatures, as predicted by the calculation model used in the study, which takes into account the carrier mean free path limitation imposed by the small diameter of the nanowire.

[Reviewed]The thermal diffusivity of two bulk thermoelectric elements and a thermoelectric module was measured by an infrared camera using a thermographic method without any contact in air at room temperature. The estimated values for the elements (3.45 x 10(-6)m(2)/s for a BiSb sample and 1.60 x 10(-6)m(2)/s for a BiTe sample) were slightly larger than those measured in vacuum. The difference was explained as the effect of heat convection on the surface of the samples by solving the one-dimensional heat conduction equation numerically. The thermal diffusivity of thermoelectric elements in a thermoelectric module was also estimated using the thermographic method, and values of (1.1-1.7) x 10(-6)m(2)/s in air were obtained, depending on the element. On the basis of the measurement results, the performance of the module was estimated using impedance spectroscopy, which can estimate not only the dimensionless figure of merit but also the thermal loss and response. The thermal response and thermal loss in air were similar to those in vacuum; however, the dimensionless figure of merit was 0.82 in vacuum and 0.70 in air.

[Reviewed]In this study, we investigated anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) of perpendicularly magnetized TbFeCo thin films with various Tb content, and especially studied the relation between ANE and anomalous Hall effect. As a result, the hysteresis of anomalous Nernst coefficient showed the same behavior as that of anomalous Hall resistivity, and the sign of anomalous Nernst coefficient was consistent with that of anomalous Hall voltage in any Tb content, whereas the Seebeck coefficient and the resistivity were almost constant even if the applied magnetic field was varied. Taking into account of thermoelectric coefficient tensor, it was revealed that the off-diagonal thermopower corresponding to the ANE in TbFeCo thin films is the product of Hall angle and Seebeck coefficient.

[Reviewed]The performance of a thermoelectric module is studied using impedance spectroscopy. We propose the simplest approximation using a least-squares method to estimate not only the dimensionless figure of merit but also the thermal loss and time constant more easily than would be possible using an exact solution. The frequency dependence of the impedance from 1 mHz to 10 kHz is measured at room temperature for a commercially available thermoelectric module, and the dimensionless figure of merit is evaluated to be 0.82, including the influence of the electrodes, isolation plate, and binding agent on the module. The thermal diffusivity of the thermoelectric element is shown to be important for evaluating the thermoelectric module performance, and the thermal loss and time constant are estimated to be less than 1% and 11 s, respectively. From the experimental results, we devise a strategy for creation of an ideal thermoelectric module.

[Reviewed]In this study, we investigated the electric field effect on the transport properties of a Bi nanowire. These effects were modeled by a surface potential. The electron states of Bi nanowires were numerically analyzed by effective mass equations at the T-point and L-point taking into account surface potential due to an external electric field. The Seebeck coefficients of Bi nanowires were calculated by using the Boltzmann equation with a constant relaxation time. It was found that the Seebeck coefficients increased when the sign of the surface potential parameter was negative. In particular, when the surface potential parameter was -1 eV and the skin depth was 10 nm in a 20-nm-diameter nanowire, the maximum absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient was larger than 1 mV/K, which was greatly improved compared to that without an external electric field.

[Reviewed]The magnetic-field dependence of the thermoelectric properties and dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) of a sintered Bi90Sb10 alloy were experimentally and theoretically evaluated. The Bi-Sb alloy was synthesized in a quartz ampule using the melting method, and the resultant ingot was then ground via ball milling. A sintered Bi90Sb10 alloy with a particle size in the range of several to several tens of micrometers was prepared using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) method. The magnetic-field dependence of the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity were experimentally evaluated at temperatures of 77-300 K for magnetic fields of up to 2.9 T. The results showed that ZT increased by 37% at 300 K under a 2.5-T magnetic field. A theoretical calculation of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient based on the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time approximation was also performed. Hence, the experimental result for the magneto-Seebeck coefficient of the Bi90Sb10 alloy at 300 K was qualitatively and quantitatively explained. Specifically, the carrier scattering mechanism was shown to be acoustic phonon potential scattering and the carrier mobility ratio between the L-and T-points was found to be 3.3, which corresponds to the characteristics of a single crystal. It was concluded that the effect of the magnetic field on the Seebeck coefficient was demonstrated accurately using the theoretical calculation model.

[Reviewed]We simultaneously measured the Seebeck coefficient and thermal diffusivity of a rectangular parallelepiped bulk thermoelectric material. We used one-dimensional heat conduction equation to show that a periodic heat cycle produces not only the thermoelectromotive force but also a certain phase shift angle between the edge and intermediate points of a sample along the length of the material. Based on the equation of the modified Angstrom method, an experiment at 300K was performed using NIST standard material (SRM 3451, Bi2Te3 material) to measure the Seebeck coefficient and thermal diffusivity. The measured Seebeck coefficient was -231 +/- 3 mu V/K, which corresponds to the published value. Using the same experimental setup as that for the thermal diffusivity measurement, the dependence of the phase shift angle on frequency was measured from 5 mHz to 10 Hz for the phase shift angle from -8.2 to -450 degrees. The estimated thermal diffusivity was (1.53 +/- 0.05) x 10(-6) m(2)/s. We conclude that the modified Angstrom method can be used to measure the Seebeck coefficient and thermal diffusivity simultaneously. (C) 2015 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

[Reviewed]Ohmic contact electrodes for four-wire resistance and Hall measurements were fabricated on an individual single-crystal bismuth nanowire encapsulated in a cylindrical quartz template. Focused ion beam processing was utilized to expose the side surfaces of the bismuth nanowire in the template, and carbon and tungsten electrodes were deposited on the bismuth nanowire in situ to achieve electrical contacts. The temperature dependence of the four-wire resistance was successfully measured for the bismuth nanowire, and a difference between the resistivities of the two-wire and four-wire methods was observed. It was concluded that the two-wire method was unsuitable for estimation of the resistivity due to the influence of contact resistance, even if the magnitude of the bismuth nanowire resistance was greater than the kilo-ohm order. Furthermore, Hall measurement of a 4-mu m-diameter bismuth microwire was also performed as a trial, and the evaluated temperature dependence of the carrier mobility was in agreement with that for bulk bismuth, which indicates that the carrier mobility was successfully measured using this technique.

[Reviewed]Thermal conductivity is estimated using a 3-omega technique for an individual bismuth nanowire (diameter: 595 nm, length: 2.24 mm) covered with a quartz template. To evaluate the thermal conductivity of the nanowire, we propose a simple model of thermal and electrical transfer functions for the nanowire that assumes a linear combination of that of the line heater on the substrate and a suspended wire. Since the out-of-phase third-harmonic component of the electrical transfer function depends only on the thermal diffusivity of the nanowire, measurement of the frequency dependence is carried out. A distinct extreme value of the frequency has been observed, as expected and estimation of the thermal conductivity of the nanowire covered with the quartz is attempted. Although the thermal conductivity at 300 K is 9.8 W/mK, somewhat smaller than that of bulk bismuth, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity is quite different from that of bulk bismuth and decreased linearly with decreasing temperature. In particular, this shows that the thermal conductivity obtained is suppressed in the low-temperature region by phonon confinement in the nanowire. © 2013 TMS.

We investigate the spatial distribution of temperature induced by a dc current in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. We numerically calculate the distributions of the electrostatic potential φ and the temperature T in a 2DEG enclosed in a square area surrounded by insulated-adiabatic (top and bottom) and isopotential-isothermal (left and right) boundaries (with φ left<φ right and T left=T right), using a pair of nonlinear Poisson equations (for φ and T) that fully take into account thermoelectric and thermomagnetic phenomena, including the Hall, Nernst, Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects. We find that, in the vicinity of the left-bottom corner, the temperature becomes lower than the fixed boundary temperature, contrary to the naive expectation that the temperature is raised by the prevalent Joule heating effect. The cooling is attributed to the Ettingshausen effect at the bottom adiabatic boundary, which pumps up the heat away from the bottom boundary. In order to keep the adiabatic condition, downward temperature gradient, hence the cooled area, is developed near the boundary, with the resulting thermal diffusion compensating the upward heat current due to the Ettingshausen effect. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

[Reviewed]The temperature dependence of electrical resistivity and the crystal orientation of single-crystal bismuth nanowires each encapsulated in a quartz template were studied. The electrical resistivities of four bismuth nanowires with diameter of 356 nm, 376 nm, 622 nm, and 633 nm were measured in the temperature range from 4.2 K to 300 K. The temperature coefficient of resistivity of 376-nm- and 633-nm-diameter nanowires was negative in the low-temperature region. On the other hand, a positive temperature coefficient appeared in 356-nm- and 622-nm-diameter nanowires. The positive temperature coefficient was not explained by carrier mean free path limitation. Thus, the crystal orientation of the bismuth nanowires was observed by x-ray diffraction measurements to study the relationship between electrical resistivity and crystal orientation. It was confirmed that the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity strongly depended on the crystal orientation of the bismuth nanowire.

[Reviewed]In this study, we have numerically analyzed the transport properties of Bi-Sb nanowires, taking into account wire boundary scattering. Wire boundary scattering slightly decreased the Seebeck coefficient of Bi-Sb nanowires. This effect is due to the observation that boundary scattering and the mobility ratio of L-point electrons to T-point holes in the nanowires are smaller than those in bulk Bi-Sb because the wire boundary scattering suppresses the mobilities of L-point electrons and heavy holes. The largest Seebeck coefficient for all wire diameters was obtained when the Sb concentration was 5 at.%. The effective mass approached zero near 5 at.% Sb, and the small effective mass led to a large subband shift in each band. Thus, a small effective mass enhances the quantum effect at a fixed wire diameter, even if wire boundary scattering is taken into account.

Shubnikov--de Haas (SdH) oscillations were measured at 0.3 K in bismuth nanowires with diameters of 393, 548, and 622 nm, and lengths of over 1 mm, which were encased in quartz templates. The magnetoresistance was measured up to a magnetic field of 17 T. Distinct SdH oscillations were observed, and the nanowire samples were rotated in the magnetic field to determine the contribution due to holes, electrons, and spin--orbit interactions. For the 622-nm-diameter nanowire, for example, values of 30.7 meV and 1.66\times 10^{17} cm
-3were obtained for the Fermi energy and carrier density, respectively, which were similar to the values for bulk bismuth.

[Reviewed]Forming electrodes on opposite sides of an individual bismuth nanowire was attempted to prepare for Hall measurements. Although a 1-mm-long bismuth nanowire which is completely covered with a quartz template has been successfully fabricated to prevent oxidation, it is very difficult to attach Hall electrodes on the opposite sides of the nanowire due to the quartz covering. One side of the cylindrical quartz template was removed by polishing without exposure of the nanowire to the atmosphere; the thickness between the polished template surface and the nanowire was estimated to be several micrometers. Focused ion beam processing was successfully employed to expose both surfaces of the nanowire under high vacuum by removing part of the quartz template. A carbon thin film was then deposited in situ on the wire surface to fabricate an electrical contact on the bismuth nanowire sample. Furthermore, the energy dispersive X-ray analysis was performed to the area processed by focused ion beam, and the bismuth component of the nanowire was successfully detected. It was confirmed that the focused ion beam processing was applicable to attach electrodes to bismuth nanowire for Hall measurement.

The dependence of the current-induced cooling effect on the electron mobility μ e is explored for a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. We calculate the distributions of the electrochemical potentials and the temperatures under a magnetic field, fully taking account of thermoelectric and thermomagnetic phenomena. Whereas the electrochemical potential and the electric current remain qualitatively unchanged, the temperature distribution exhibits drastic mobility dependence. The lower-mobility system has cold and hot areas at opposite corners, which results from the heat current brought about by the Ettingshausen effect in the vicinity of the adiabatic boundaries. The cooling effect is intensified by an increase in μ e. Intriguingly, the cold and hot areas change places with each other as the mobility μ e is further increased. This is because the heating current on the adiabatic edges due to the Righi-Leduc effect exceeds that due to the Ettingshausen effect in the opposite direction. © 2011 TMS.

Two-dimensional electron gases having an electrochemical potential gradient under a magnetic field are numerically examined using the finite-difference method. The temperature, voltage, electric current, and heat flux are calculated from transport equations describing thermoelectric and thermomagnetic effects, namely the Hall, Nernst, Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects. The results show that a magnetic field distorts equipotential lines and generates an uneven temperature distribution. In particular, a part of the system is found to become colder than the temperature of the heat baths. The cooling effect under a strong magnetic field is due primarily to the Ettingshausen and Hall effects. © 2010 TMS.

[Reviewed]In this study, we investigated the effects of scattering on the transport properties of Bi nanowires. The electrical conductivities and Seebeck coefficients of Bi nanowires were calculated using the Boltzmann equation, with an energy-dependent relaxation time corresponding to the scattering process. Decreasing the wire diameter increased the Seebeck coefficient for all of the scattering processes examined, because a semimetal-semiconductor transition occurred. In 80-nm-diameter nanowires, the Seebeck coefficient for ionized impurity scattering was larger than that of the acoustic deformation potential. On the other hand, in 20-nm-diameter nanowires, the dependence of the Seebeck coefficient on the scattering process was negligible, compared with the influence of wire diameter.

[Reviewed]We numerically investigated the effect of the surface on the transport properties of Bi nanowires. The effect of the surface was modeled using the surface potential. The energy shift in each band due to the surface potential was calculated by a perturbation method. The effect of the surface potential on the transport properties was estimated using the Boltzmann equation with a constant relaxation time. The results reveal that the surface potential dramatically alters the density of states of T-point holes, whereas it has very little effect on the density of states of L-point holes. This is because the wavefunctions at the L- and T-points have different symmetries. The electrical conductivity increases and the Seebeck coefficient decreases with increasing surface potential. The maximum absolute value of the Seebeck coefficient decreases drastically with increasing surface potential. The Seebeck coefficient has a much stronger dependence on the surface potential than on the wire diameter. These results demonstrate that the transport properties of Bi nanowires are very sensitive to the surface potential.

[Reviewed]The crystal orientation and resistivity of a bismuth nanowire (diameter 633 nm, length 1.91 mm) encased in quartz were measured. The nanowire surface was irradiated with a high-intensity, collimated x-ray beam through the quartz template, and several Laue spots were observed with no streak patterns. Therefore, we concluded that the nanowire was a single crystal. The crystal orientation could be determined by measuring the relationship between the Laue spot distribution and the location of the nanowire fixed by a goniometer. The direction along the wire length was strongly directed toward the bisectrix axis of bismuth. The temperature dependence of the nanowire resistivity was measured; the resistivity at 300 K was 1.40 mu Omega m, which is somewhat greater than that of the bulk sample due to the lower mobility of the nanowire. The temperature coefficient of resistivity was positive in the temperature range from 300 K to 165 K, and it became negative below 165 K. The temperature dependence can be modeled by accounting for the limited electron mean free path in the bismuth nanowire based on the crystal orientation determined by the Laue measurements.

[Reviewed]Modeling and experiments are performed to decrease temperature fluctuation generated by the periodic motion of the displacer in a Gifford-McMahon (GM) type cryocooler within the low-temperature region. The one-dimensional heat equation allows us to show that thermal diffusivity is an essential factor to achieve much smaller temperature fluctuation, and fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) with low thermal diffusivity makes it possible to reduce the temperature fluctuation dramatically. Based on the model, experiments are performed to vary the thickness of two FRP dampers, on the cryohead of the cryocooler and on the sample stage. As a result, the FRP dampers enable us to achieve the temperature fluctuations of only 0.7 mK, corresponding to a standard deviation of 0.25 mK, when the sample stage is maintained at 4.2000 K, even if a GM cryocooler is utilized for cooling the temperature, which introduces an initial temperature fluctuation of 282 mK at the cryohead.

[Reviewed]We describe a method for precisely controlling temperature using a Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryocooler that involves inserting fiber-reinforced-plastic dampers into a conventional cryosystem. Temperature fluctuations in a GM cryocooler without a large heat bath or a stainless-steel damper at 4.2 K are typically of the order of 200 mK. It is particularly difficult to control the temperature of a GM cryocooler at low temperatures. The fiber-reinforced-plastic dampers enabled us to dramatically reduce temperature fluctuations at low temperatures. A standard deviation of the temperature fluctuations of 0.21 mK could be achieved when the temperature was controlled at 4.200 0 K using a feedback temperature control system with two heaters. Adding the dampers increased the minimum achievable temperature from 3.2 to 3.3 K. Precise temperature control between 4.200 0 and 300.000 K was attained using the GM cryocooler, and the standard deviation of the temperature fluctuations was less than 1.2 mK even at 300 K. This technique makes it possible to control and stabilize the temperature using a GM cryocooler. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3484192]

[Reviewed]We have used the finite-element method to calculate numerically the equations of electrical and thermal transport. The thermal conductivity of a wire array is analyzed. The influence of the wire array on the effective thermal conductivity of the element is discussed. The effective thermal conductivity decreases as the wire diameter is reduced. Decreasing the packing density significantly reduces the effective thermal conductivity. In the classical regime, the ratio of the effective electrical conductivity to the effective thermal conductivity of the wire array can be expressed as a function of packing density; this ratio decreases as the packing density decreases. The ratio for a wire array with realistic parameters is similar to that of bulk bismuth. Therefore, to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit, it is critical to enhance the intrinsic power factor in a wire by exploiting thermomagnetic or quantum effects.

[Reviewed]We calculated the electronic structures of Ni nanocontact by using the first-principles band calculation, and investigated the dependence of the electronic structure on the nanocontact shape. It is expected that the large spin polarization at the center of nanocontact can be obtained in the large contact length. The small contact length can easily switch from P state to AP state in spin configuration of two ferromagnetic electrodes.

In this study, we have developed a three-dimensional finite element method for solving the equations of electrical and thermal flows. The 3D analysis of bulk material and wire array element was demonstrated, and electrical potential and temperature distributions were calculated in thermoelectric elements of bulk bismuth and wire array structures for various boundary conditions. The influence of wire array structure on effective thermal. conductivity of the element was discussed in this study. It was clarified that thermal exchange between bismuth wire and glass template in wire array element plays a very important role for reduction of thermal conductivity.

Geometrical dependence of magneto resistivity in bismuth microwire arrays
Hirofumi Nakano; Yoshiaki Ishikawa; Yasuhiro Hasegawa; Hiroyuki Morita; Takashi Komine
ICT'06: XXV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THERMOELECTRICS, PROCEEDINGS, First page：375, Last page：+, 2006, [Reviewed]
Geometrical dependence of the magnetoresistivity using polycrystalline bismuth microwire array was measured under magnetic fields of 0-2 T at temperatures of 50-300 K, and its diameter of prepared microwire arrays were 10 and 25 mu m. Aspect ratio, defined by wire length divided by the diameter, was determined for the wire array since both edges of all wires were attached to Ti thin film layer in order to avoid contact resistance. The attachment of the layer makes it possible to estimate the resistivity of the wire arrays. Both resistivities of the wire arrays at 300 K were equal to approximately 1.35 mu Omega m and were good agreement not only at 300 K but also in temperature region of 50-300 K in the absence of a magnetic field. Although the magnetoresistivities of both samples increased in the presence of the magnetic field, the behavior of magnetoresistivity depended on wire diameter. The magnetoresistivity of the wire array with higher aspect ratio was suppressed even if the resistivities of both samples without magnetic field are equal. The difference of magnetoresistivities was remarkable in high magnetic field and low temperature region. Therefore, the thermoelectric element with high aspect ratio such as micro- and nano-wire array leads suppression of magnetoresistivity increase more than that of bulk material.

ICT'06: XXV INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THERMOELECTRICS, PROCEEDINGS, First page：372, Last page：+, 2006, [Reviewed]
Contact resistance at the terminations of bismuth wire array of 25 mu m diameter is reduced by ion plating of a titanium interlayer 100 nm upon the wire ends. 1,000 nm-thick copper electrodes are ion plated upon the titanium. Copper probe electrodes are then attached using Pb-Sn solder. The temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient and resistance are measured upon heating from 25 K to 300 K and the results compared with those for the polycrystalline bulk bismuth sample. The resistivity of the micro-wire array is found to be 1.37 mu Omega m at 300 K. Based on the similarities between the temperature dependences of resistivity and Seebeck coefficient for the wire and bulk samples, contact resistance of the wires is considered to have been completely eliminated. This technique makes it possible to simultaneously estimate the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient for nano-wire arrays of thermoelectric materials.

[Reviewed]We report the synthesis of silicon nanocones using the rf microplasma discharge at atmospheric pressure. The products formed underneath the tube electrode on Fe-coated crystalline silicon were constituted mainly of silicon and silicon oxide despite the use of a methane-argon mixture. Carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires were also formed around the silicon nanocones. The number density and average size of silicon nanocones increased with the plasma exposure time accompanied by the enlargement of their surface distribution. The growth mechanism of silicon nanocones is discussed in terms of the catalytic growth via diffusion of silicon with nanocrystalline Si particle through FeSix nanoclusters, and enhanced Si oxidation by the plasma heating.

[Reviewed]The magneto-Seebeck coefficient and magnetoresistivity of a polycrystalline bismuth microwire array were measured under magnetic fields of 0-2 T and at temperatures of 50-300 K. To avoid the influence of contact resistance between the wire array and the electrodes, bulk bismuth was used for the electrodes. In the absence of a magnetic field, the Seebeck coefficient and resistivity were -76 mu V/K and 1.8 mu Omega m at 300 K, respectively. The magneto-Seebeck coefficient for the wire array increased with the application of an external magnetic field, attributable to the precise control of impurities and carrier scattering process in the fabrication of the wire array. The phonon drag effect was observed below 100 K, with a corresponding increase in the magneto-Seebeck coefficient under high magnetic fields. However, the magnetoresistivity was also raised under higher magnetic fields, detracting from the thermoelectric properties. Through analysis of the power factor, the optimum magnetic field was determined for each temperature, revealing a trend for the optimum magnetic field to increase with temperature. The power factor was improved by a maximum factor of 1.12, achieved at 200 K and 0.25 T. Further improvements appear to be possible by eliminating the bulk bismuth employed for the electrodes.

[Reviewed]We investigate the magnetoresistance of a magnetoresistive element consisting of a nonmagnetic semiconductor, four electrodes, and a metallic shunt, with varying locations of the voltage electrodes. The optimum location of the voltage electrodes is estimated from MR ratios calculated by using the finite element method. The MR ratio of 6.9%, which was obtained at an applied magnetic field of 0.005 T for an MR element with asymmetrical voltage electrodes separated by a distance of 25 nm, is higher than that for the MR element with symmetrical electrodes. In order to improve the MR ratio at a low applied field, a flux-guide-type MR element is proposed in this study. An MR ratio of 124% at an applied field of 0.005 T was obtained for a flux-guide-type element with asymmetrical electrodes.

Peltier current lead is a promising method to reduce heat leakage from current lead. This paper reports development of Peltier current lead (PCL) with switching facilities to adopt the PCL to polarity-reversible superconducting magnet. In the present work, two types of the PCL were discussed. We mainly investigated the PCL with switching element installed in the copper part. Numerical analysis revealed that it is preferable to reduce heat leakage at the low temperature end of Peltier element. With switch resistance of ∼ 100 μΩ, which enabled switch induced increment of the heat leakage to be suppressed by less than 10%. A transistor switching module with appropriate resistance were manufactured. We demonstrated that a temperature gradient at the end of the lead, corresponding to the heat leakage, could be reduced compared to a conventional current lead (CCL) even when the module was installed with the PCL.

Peltier current lead (PCL) has been studied since it was proposed as one of thermoelectric applications. Due to the Peltier effect, it is expected the PCL reduces the heat leak from room temperature side to the low temperature side of a cryogenic system. Thermoelectric materials are installed into the copper (or aluminum) leads at room temperature side and the copper leads are connected to super-conducting magnet. Present performance of the thermoelectric material can achieve such a high current with a relatively small Peltier element. We measure temperature dependence of Seebeck coefficient and resistivity with BiTe thermoelectric materials. Optimum current is determined when PCLs apply to a super-conducting system with simplest model. The heat leak reduction at the optimum current operation is estimated with several thermoelectric elements, and it is expected about that the heat leak reduce about 25%.

Measurements of transport parameters of thermoelectric semiconductors need to control the temperature profile of the samples. Therefore, the appropriate materials should be employed for the sample-base and the electrodes in the different experiments. Similar problems occur when a thermoelectric element is set into an instrument. We measured the thermal resistances of the interfaces on various conditions from room temperature to 50 K. Furthermore, we separated the thermal resistances into two parts: those of the material itself and its pure interfaces.

We have been investigating the current imbalance problem comparing the calculated result obtained by the measurement of inductance distribution in multi-strand superconducting cable conductor using high accuracy LCR meter and the measured actual current distribution in it. So far, the measurement of inductance and that of actual current had been carried out at 1kHz and at few Hz, respectively. As a result, the experimental result did not agree well with the calculated one. It was estimated that the discrepancy between both results was due to the error in the inductance measurement. So, this time, we have carried out inductance measurement more precisely at 100Hz. And, we have also measured actual current at wider frequency range. From these results, it is concluded that the current distribution is very sensitive to the inductance distribution. Particularly, in multi-stranded conductors with higher magnetic coupling among the strands, such as a large scale and multi twisted cable conductor, the current distribution shows a very dynamic change with the frequency.

Superconductivity is non-dissipative system originally because of zero resistance, however, we should spend electric power to keep low temperature. Therefore, beat leak should be reduced as possible as we can to realize the superconducting system as an actual system Peltier current lead (PCL) was proposed to reduce beat leak from the electric circuit for superconducting low temperature system. PCL is composed of thermoelectric materials, metal leads and high temperature superconducting leads. The thermoelectric material is based on bismuth-tellurium alloy in the present design, and this is set at the room temperature side. Optimum design of the PCL is derived to solve a heat leak equation, and depends on the transport parameters, thermal conductivity, electric resistivity and Seebeck coefficient. Cold-end temperature of the thermoelectric material is calculated to be around 200 K by using the parameters of the market materials of bismuth-tellurium alloy. The experiment has been done and the principle was proven by the experiment We also measured the temperature dependence of the transport parameters of the materials. Finally, we propose two-stage PCL in this paper.

We have been investigating a current imbalance in multi-strand cable conductor using several types of solenoid coils wound by insulated multi-stranded copper cable, and obtained a result that the current distribution in the multi-stranded conductor is strongly affected by the magnetic coupling coefficient between strands. This time, we have carried out an experiment to investigate the current imbalance problem using a superconducting cable conductor. The main purpose of this investigation is to make clear the relation between the current imbalance and the impedance distributions among the strands. The experiment was carried out on (1) DC test, and (2) AC test. The calculation results show that the resistance component becomes dominant in the frequency region lower than 0.1 Hz. On the other hand, inductance component becomes dominant in the frequency region higher than 1Hz. For the experimental results lower than 1Hz, the amplitude and the phase characteristics of the current in each strand coincide well with the calculated results based on the measured resistance and impedance distribution. From these results, it can be concluded that a precise impedance measurement utilizing high accuracy LCR meter can estimate the current imbalance in insulated multi-stranded superconducting cable conductor before actual superconducting operation.

There exists a large amount of unused energy in power generation plants, such as condenser waste heat which accounts about 50% of plant thermal output. However, it consists of relatively low temperature energy, so it is difficult to generate electricity by the conventional water-steam cycle. In order to raise the efficiency, we have to install energy recovering system to heat exchangers which have high entropy production as the boiler and the feed water heaters instead of the condenser. A new concept of electricity generating system for the feed water heater has been proposed. In this concept, the total generation efficiency is improved by applying the medium temperature thermoelectric generation module into heat exchanging walls or tubes in the feed water heaters focusing on the reduction of the entropy production. The efficiency improvement of the proposed system is 1% and the allowed cost of the proposed system is proportional to the net increase of the electric power.

We present a theoretical and computational framework for calculating transport properties of thermoelectric and thermomagnetic semiconductors and relating them to measurements. Assuming a multiple-band model with generally nonparabolic band structures, we numerically integrate the Boltzmann equation with a relaxation time approximation to obtain the electric conductivity and the Hall, Seebeck, Nernst, and Righi-Leduc coefficients under magnetic fields. These `bare' (microscopic) transport coefficients are used to calculate quantities that can be compared with measurements by numerically solving macroscopic differential equations in two dimensions with appropriate boundary conditions. It is shown that, for finite-geometry samples, there is considerable coupling between thermoelectric and thermomagnetic effects, which can make the magnetic-field dependence profile of measured values quite different from that of bare values.

[Reviewed]Boronization at near room temperature has been performed in plasma processing teststand (PPT) by using a 5% diborane gases B2H6 in He on electrically floating or cathode potential Al samples under various DC glow discharge conditions as a function of power or total gas pressure. The hydrogen concentration was analyzed by using elastic recoil defection method (ERD) and a new modified normalizing technique with Rutherford back scattering (RBS). Results showed that a high growth rate of film formation and floating surface were effective in reducing hydrogen concentration in B films. This result was in good agreement with earlier measurements of H with flash filament (FF) desorption method. In particular it was presumed from the experiments that the H/B ratio was reduced by decreasing energetic ions but increasing radicals for B film formation.

A limiting mean free path was considered in order to better understand the temperature and wire diameter dependence of the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of bismuth microwire and nanowire samples. The mean free path limited mobility was numerically calculated from experimentally measured mobility in a bulk bismuth sample, and the electron and hole mobilities were dramatically decreased to a 10 mu m mean free path. Therefore, the temperature dependence of resistivity in very thin wire was quite different from that of a bulk sample, which had a positive temperature coefficient. The calculations showed that the temperature coefficient decreased gradually with decreasing mean free path, and the coefficient became negative for a mean free path of less than 1 mu m at about 150 K. The Seebeck coefficient was also calculated, but showed only a weak dependence on mean free path compared with the resistivity. Experimental comparisons were made to previous measurements of bismuth microwire or nanowire samples, and the temperature and wire diameter dependencies of the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient were qualitatively and quantitatively in very good agreement. Therefore, the temperature dependencies of nanowire samples over 850 nm in diameter were well described using the mean free path limitation. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Influence of the band structure of BiSb alloy on the magneto-Seebeck coefficient Takayuki Teramoto; Takashi Komine; Shinji Yamamoto; Masahiro Kuraishi; Ryuji Sugita; Yasuhiro Hasegawa; Hiroaki Nakamura

The influence of the band structure of BiSb alloys on the magneto-Seebeck coefficient was estimated by the Boltzmann equation using an energy-dependent relaxation time approximation at 100 K. The magneto-Seebeck coefficient along the trigonal direction was calculated under a magnetic field along the bisectrix direction. The scattering factor was supposed as being an acoustic deformation potential scattering. In order to estimate the influence of band structure on the magneto-Seebeck coefficient, both two band and three band models were utilized. The two band model consists of an electron surface at the L-point and a hole surface at the T-point. The influence of the change in band overlap and the effective electron mass was investigated using the two band model. The three band model consists of an electron surface at the L-point and a hole surface at the T-point. The influence of change in the Sb concentration of BiSb alloy was also investigated using the three band model. As a result, the Seebeck coefficient was observed to increase as the band overlap decreased. The band overlap has little influence on the improvement of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient. The Seebeck coefficient decreases as the effective mass decreases; however, improvement in the magneto-Seebeck coefficient increases as the effective mass decreases. The magneto-Seebeck coefficient of Bi(95)Sb(5) was effectively improved under a low maonetic field. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

We have improved the Harman method to evaluate all thermoelectric properties related to the figure of merit, ZT, not only in bulk materials but also in mesoscopic ones. By this method, the ZT of single microwires can also be determined. The minimum sample size is currently similar to 0.25 mm in length and similar to 10 mu m in diameter. The fabrication of our equipment based on the Harman method is described in detail. The enhancement of ZT can be achieved in the Bi-microwire array because of the homogeneous arrangement of the crystal orientation in each microwire. The results obtained in the Bi-microwire arrays are consistent with ZT behavior in the single microwires extracted from the arrays. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.47.3576]

We studied the influence of band structure on the Seebeck coefficient of bismuth under a magnetic field. In this study, the magneto-Seebeck coefficient was calculated by solving the Boltzmann equation with an energy-dependent relaxation-time approximation and by assuming the Lax model of the bismuth band structure, which contains the anisotropy of bismuth. The influence of the scattering factor on the magneto-Seebeck effect was also investigated in the anisotropic band structure. The magneto-Seebeck coefficient varies with the magnetic field direction. Improvement of the Seebeck coefficient under a transverse magnetic field is higher than that under a longitudinal magnetic field. For the acoustic deformation potential scattering, the Seebeck coefficient is improved in a low magnetic field. For other types of scattering, the absolute values of the Seebeck coefficient are decreased in the low magnetic field. Moreover, for scattering factor r of 0, the magneto-Seebeck coefficient for a parabolic band does not vary, while the magneto-Seebeck coefficient for a nonparabolic band decreases. The sign of the Seebeck coefficient was changed under a high magnetic field because of the increase in magnetoresistivity due to high electron mobility. The effect of impurity addition was also investigated by changing the Fermi energy. With increasing Fermi energy, the Seebeck coefficient is more easily affected by an applied magnetic field, because the electron density is increased.

Power factor enhancement in a magnetic field using polycrystalline bismuth microwire arrays Yasuhiro Hasegawa; Hirofumi Nakano; Hiroyuki Morita; Takashi Komine; Haruhiko Okumura; Hiroaki Nakamura

Measurements of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient and magnetoresistivity of two bismuth microwire arrays having different diameters and a bulk sample were performed for applied magnetic fields between 0 and 2 T and temperatures between 50 and 300 K. The magneto-Seebeck coefficients were always enhanced as a result of controlling the phonon scattering process and the magnetoresistivity also invariably increased. The power factors in an applied magnetic field were estimated, and the power factors of the microwire arrays were found to be enhanced over the whole measurement range. By contrast, the power factor of the bulk sample was not enhanced at temperatures under 200 K. The difference in the responses of the bulk sample and the microwire arrays is strongly related to suppression of the magnetoresistivity; the suppression ratios of the magnetoresistivity of the bulk sample, which has a low aspect ratio, are smaller than those of the microwire arrays. It was experimentally demonstrated that there is an optimum magnetic field that maximizes the power factor and that the enhancement ratio of the power factor is much greater for structures that have a high aspect ratio, such as microwire arrays. This suggests that microwire arrays are suitable for enhancing the power factor by applying a magnetic field. (C) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

Magnetoresistivity measurements of polycrystalline bismuth microwire arrays having a range of different diameters and a bulk sample were performed under applied magnetic fields between 0 and 2 T and temperatures from 50 to 300 K. A thin film layer was deposited on the terminations of the microwire arrays in order to completely eliminate contact resistance. The measured resistivities were in very good agreement with those of polycrystalline bulk bismuth over the entire measured temperature range, even when the resistances had different values. The magnetoresistivities increased when a magnetic field was applied, and the rate of increase of the magnetoresistivities with applied magnetic field varied in samples having different aspect ratios. It was conjectured that this variation in the rate of increase is related to the aspect ratio. Suppression of magnetoresistivity in the microwire arrays was confirmed experimentally using bulk bismuth since the aspect ratio of the microwire arrays was much larger than that of the bulk sample. The geometrical contribution of the high aspect ratio on the magnetic effect in microwire and nanowire arrays makes it possible to enhance the thermoelectric performance of materials by suppressing the magnetoresistivity and increasing the magneto-Seebeck coefficient.

Carrier densities and mobilities in polycrystalline bismuth contaminated with 0.01 at% tin are determined by measurement of various electronic transport parameters in low magnetic fields from 50 to 300 K. The parameters measured include the Seebeck coefficient, resistivity, magneto-resistance and Hall coefficient. The present sample exhibits the temperature-dependent variations in electron carrier density seen for single-crystal bismuth. However, due to tin contamination of 0.01 at%, the hole carrier density is invariant below 150 K. The mobilities are somewhat lower due to boundary scattering, with the reduction in electron mobility being prominent. The proposed method allows the temperature dependences to be determined reliably even in the presence of contamination, and represents a useful technique for the analysis of carrier densities and mobilities in high-mobility materials under low magnetic fields.

The resistivity and Seebeck coefficient of a bismuth microwire array (wire diameter: 25μm) were successfully measured from 25 to 300 K. To eliminate the influence of the contact resistance between the wire edges of the microwire array and copper electrodes, the titanium (100 nm) /copper (500 nm) film layers were deposited as interlayer on the wire edge by ion plating method. Copper electrodes were glued by using Pb-Sn solder. The resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient at 300K were approximately 1.8μΩm and -54 μV/K, respectively. The value of the resistivity and the Seebeck coefficient were in good agreement with those of bulk polycrystalline bismuth reported previously. Thus, the effects of the contact resistance for the microwire array were almost resolved, and the chemical reaction of the Pb-Sn solder and bismuth was prevented by using the thin film layer. The technique is expected to be applicable to nanowire arrays as well.

Contact resistance at the terminations of bismuth wire arrays of 25-mu m diam is reduced by ion plating of a titanium interlayer 100 nm upon the wire ends. One-thousand (1000)-nm-thick copper electrodes are ion plated upon the titanium. Copper probe electrodes are then attached using Pb-Sn solder. The temperature dependences of the Seebeck coefficient and resistance are measured upon heating from 25 to 300 K and the results compared with those for the polycrystalline bulk bismuth sample. The resistivity of the microwire array is found to be 1.37 mu Omega m at 300 K. Based on the similarities between the temperature dependences of resistivity and Seebeck coefficient for the wire and bulk samples, contact resistance of the wires is considered to have been completely eliminated. This technique makes it possible to simultaneously estimate the resistivity and Seebeck coefficient for nanowire arrays of thermoelectric materials. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

We have performed micromagnetic calculations of magnetic domain walls in two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) nanocontacts and estimate the domain wall widths. The magnetic domain wall in a 3-D nanocontact is smaller than that in a 2-D nanocontact due to the larger magnetic volume available to pin the magnetization in the antiparallel configuration of the electrodes. Therefore, 3-D nanocontacts are more suitable than 2-D nanocontacts for domain wall confinement and large magnetoresistance effects.

We report herein the micromagnetic calculations of the magnetic domain walls in nanoconstrictions of various shapes for H -shaped samples and estimate the domain wall widths. The length and width of the nanoconstriction and the exchange stiffness constant in the nanoconstriction was varied for each case. In the case of a uniform exchange stiffness constant at the nanoconstriction, the domain wall width depends on the length and width of the nanoconstriction. Each domain wall width D calculated herein is longer than the constriction length L, and the exchange stiffness constant is 1.05×10-6 ergcm. The small exchange stiffness at the nanoconstriction leads to the small domain wall width. These results imply the possibility of the large domain wall scattering only for nanoconstrictions with a small effective exchange coupling between the two magnetic materials. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.

The physical and electric properties of several silver pastes, Pb-Sn solder, and indium were systematically investigated as potential binders for attaching electrodes to bismuth-based bulk or nanowire array thermoelectric elements. Scanning electron microscopy observations and x-ray diffraction surface measurements of the silver pastes were performed and the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the resistance were measured to characterize their electrical properties from 300 K down to 15 K and from 0 to 1 T at 15 K, respectively. The silver pastes were not reactive with bismuth and hence were found to be potentially useful as electrically conductive adhesives with bismuth-based materials. The properties of each of the binders were quite different; the typical size of the particles in the silver pastes before solidification were distributed in the range from 3 nm to 20 mum, and the size strongly affected the resistances of the silver pastes, which were distributed over 2 and 3 orders of magnitude at 300 and 15 K, respectively. Therefore, an appropriate selection of binder must be made for a specific purpose, based on the measurement results. For use with bismuth-based thermoelectric materials, the silver nanopaste is a strong candidate binder because it is far superior to other the binders examined in terms of its resistance properties and magnetic field dependence.

The magneto-Seebeck coefficient and magneto-resistivity of a polycrystalline bismuth microwire array were measured under magnetic fields of 0 to 2 Tesla and at temperatures of 50 to 300 K. To avoid the influence of contact resistance between the wire array and the electrodes, bulk bismuth was used for the electrodes. In the absence of a magnetic field, the Seebeck coefficient and resistivity were -76 mu V/K and 1.8 mu Omega m at 300 K, respectively. The rnagneto-Seebeck coefficient for the wire array increased with the application of an external magnetic field, attributable to the precise control of impurities and carrier scattering process in the fabrication of the wire array. The phonon drag effect was observed below 100 K, with a corresponding increase in the rnagneto-Seebeck coefficient under high magnetic fields. However, the magneto-resistivity was also raised under higher magnetic fields, detracting from the thermoelectric properties. Through analysis of the power factor, the optimum magnetic field was determined for each temperature, revealing a trend for the optimum magnetic field to increase with temperature. The power factor was improved by a maximum factor of 1.12, achieved at 200 K and 0.25 Tesla. Further improvements appear to be possible by eliminating the bulk bismuth employed for the electrodes.

A novel p-type hydrogenated chlorinated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H:(Cl)) film was fabricated from chlorinated materials, i.e., SiH2Cl2 and SiCl4,by rf plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. These p-type nc-Si:H:(Cl) films showed high conductivities of 10-50 S/cm under 3000-5000 ppm B2H6-mixing concentrations with lower optical absorption in the visible region, while maintaining a high film crystallinity. No marked darkening of the ZnO:Al layer was observed after deposition of the p-type nc-Si:H:(Cl) layer fabricated from SiH2Cl2 and SiCl4 compared to the p-type Si:H film fabricated from SiH4. The origin of the low optical absorption in p-type nc-Si:H:(Cl) is demonstrated along with the performance of a p-i-n structure amorphous silicon solar cell.

The enhancement of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient of a bismuth microwire array under a magnetic field is measured at temperatures from 45 to 295 K. The measured magneto-Seebeck coefficient exhibits a peak at a certain magnitude of magnetic field, with the peak shifting to higher magnetic fields and becoming broader with increasing temperature. The results show that the magneto-Seebeck coefficient can be improved by approximately 20% by applying an appropriate external magnetic field and temperature. The Boltzmann equation with a relaxation-time approximation is solved numerically to determine the magnetic field and temperature dependences of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient for the bismuth microwire array. The experimental results are compared with calculations, and the two sets of results are shown to be in very good agreement, clarifying the mechanisms contributing to the magneto-Seebeck coefficient for bismuth. The wire array structure is thus suitable for enhancing the thermoelectric properties of materials in a magnetic field. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.

A novel rf microplasma jet at atmospheric pressure was successfully generated using a single needle tube electrode. The atmospheric He discharge was characterized using optical emission spectroscopy with the inner hole diameter of the needle electrode and the flow rate of gas as variables. Preliminary results of the application of microplasma jets to thin film processing are given, i.e. silicon oxidation and the synthesis of carbon nanostructures including amorphous carbon, graphite, and nanotubes. A metal-oxide-semiconductor structure using the silicon oxidized layer formed by the O-2/He plasma showed good rectification behaviour. The effects of gas flow velocity and inner diameter of the needle tube electrode on the carbon nanostructure and deposition area are discussed.

Seebeck and Nernst coefficients were numerically calculated by solving the Boltzmann equation with relaxation time approximation for bismuth under a magnetic field as functions of the products of cyclotron frequency (omega(c)) and relaxation time (tau(0)), taking into consideration the scattering process of carriers as a function of energy. The relationship between omega(c)tau(0) and magnitude of the magnetic field was derived from the definition of mobility, and each coefficient was estimated as a function of the magnetic field. The magneto-Seebeck coefficient was estimated by the addition of the Seebeck coefficient to the Nernst coefficient, and the contribution of thermoelectric effect in the presence of the magnetic field was dominant, being derived from the Seebeck effect. The magnetic field and temperature dependences of the magneto-Seebeck coefficient were evaluated by the use of a two-carrier model and mobility of single-crystal bismuth. The results show that the magneto-Seebeck coefficient can be improved by a factor of 1.3 to 1.4 in the presence of a magnetic field to control the scattering process of the carriers.

Many applications of superconductivity are studied because they are basically nondissipative systems; however, electric power is spent to keep them at low temperature. If heat leakage is high, the advantage of the superconductivity will be reduced or disappear, and therefore we must reduce the heat leakage as much as we can in the actual system. The Peltier current lead (PCL) was proposed to reduce heat leakage from the electric circuit of the superconducting magnet system. PCL is composed of thermoelectric semiconductors, metal leads, and high temperature superconducting (HTS) leads. Bismuth-tellurium alloys (BiTe) are used as the thermoelectric semiconductors in the experiment, and these are placed on the room temperature side. Optimum design of the PCL is conducted to solve a heat leakage equation, and depends on the transport parameters such as thermal conductivity, electric resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient of the materials of the PCL. The thermal conductivity of the BiTe is about 0.4% of the copper's, and we can expect the Peltier cooling by using this material. Therefore, we can expect the large temperature difference of the BiTe and reduce the heat leakage. The experiment has been done and the cold-end temperature of the thermoelectric BiTe is around 200 K both in the experiment and the numerical calculation. The temperature difference of 4 mm thickness of the BiTe exceeds 70 K for 150 A in both the experiment and the calculation. Therefore, the principle was proven in the experiments, and the reduction of the heat leakage is up to 35% for the current lead included in the HTS current lead. Here, we also mentioned and proposed the various types of the PCL for the different kinds of superconducting magnet systems in this article. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.

This paper describes characteristics of current imbalance in AC-operated superconducting coil and trial for its suppression with iron core method. Measurements of strand current in the frequency less than −1 Hz revealed that the current imbalance significantly occurred to the frequency increase, and that the critical frequency almost corresponds to a frequency where the coil leakage inductance is comparable to the coil resistive. Such a current imbalance was not seriously affected by ferromagnetic materials set in the coil. The iron core method was effective for suppression of the current imbalance, especially in the low frequency region, and inductance measurements suggested that the suppression effect was attributed to inductance compensation as well as reduction of effective electro-magnetic coupling between coil strands. © 2003, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Experiments of Peltier current lead (PCL) were performed by the way of half-wave-rectified current (HWRC) for an evaluation of the PCL system in the drive with the large-rippled current. The current ripple of the HWRC is large, and we discussed the cooling capability of the current ripple. The experimental results revealed that the temperature difference of the thermoelectric-element (TE) increased with the magnitude of the current in the PCL system, despite the large current ripple. Calorimetric measurements revealed that the PCL reduced the heat leak of 60% for the peak current 90A. We compared the PCL systems of the direct current (dc) mode and the HWRC mode. The results showed that the current dependence of the temperature difference in the HWRC mode did not match that of the dc mode, but those of the heat leak matched well. The performance of the Peltier cooling in the HWRC mode is reduced to be 2/πtime of the Seebeck coefficient for the dc mode by using the time-average method.

Peltier current leads (PCLs) for cryogenic systems are investigated in regard to temperature dependence of thermoelectric materials. Due to the Peltier effect on the thermoelectric parts of the current lead, PCLs act as heat pumps. It is expected that PCLs will reduce the amount of heat leak from the room temperature side to the low temperature side of a cryogenic system. Six (three each for p and n type) hot-pressed BiTe samples for PCLs are selected to estimate PCL performance. Our experimental results and analyses indicate that PCLs show a capacity in the order of several hundred Amperes and as much as 20-30% reductions of heat leak.

Current imbalance can be estimated by the solution of the circuit equation, which depends on the result of the measurement of the self- and mutual inductances. Strand circuit is coupled with each other strongly, and therefore the matrix calculation is stiff. This situation leads to enhance the error of the measurement. In order to study this problem, we made a magnet, in which the cable was composed of the nine insulated strands, and measured the inductance matrix of the strand circuits by the LCR-meter. The inductance of the magnet is 11 mH, and the error of the measurement is the order of micro Henry to 10 muH. The average coupling factor of the magnet is 0.9956, and therefore this inductance matrix is almost singular. Finally, we calculated the currents of the strand. The accuracy of the inductance measurement is the order of 5-6 digits. We used (TM)Mathematica to solve the circuit equation, and we tested the accuracy of the calculation precision. Random number method is introduced to estimate the required accuracy of the inductance measurement. The required accuracy of the inductance measurement is the order of micro Henry in this magnet to obtain the accuracy of 5% for the strand currents. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Reflection of ions at a tungsten target was investigated experimentally in a linear plasma device. The tungsten target plate was set perpendicular to the magnetic field, and irradiated by hydrogen and helium plasma. The experiment measures a current as a function of sheath potential for a fixed angle. The reflected neutral particles from the target plate are measured by neutral-negative charge convertor made of Cu. The experimental results show good agreement with the results calculated with TRIM Monte-Carlo simulation code. A possibility to estimate the ion temperature is shown through the sheath potential dependence of the ion reflection in the low energy range. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

A new diagnostic method to measure ion energy distribution using ion reflection on the solid surface, one of the processes of plasma-wall interactions, is proposed. It is well known that the energy distribution of reflected particles is related to the energy distribution of incident ions. This method is used in relatively low ion temperature region such as edge plasma in fusion experimental devices. Incident ions to target plate which is inserted in the edge plasma are mainly reflected as neutral particles, and time-of-flight method is utilized to measure energy distribution of reflected particles. Energy distribution of incident ions is deduced by fitting with calculation using Monte Carlo simulation code TRIM.SP. The sheath potential in front of the target can also be obtained with this method.

We have successfully fabricated a single-crystal bismuth nanowire with several-ten- to several-hundred-nm diameter and more than 1mm-length embedded in a quartz template. And a technique using nano-fabrication has also been developed to make local electrodes at the side and edge of the nanowire. So, we can measure the transport coefficients of the nanowire like resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and Hall coefficient. We will indicate the giant Seebeck coefficient from experimental results using the four-probe method.

In this study, we investigated the electric field effect on transport properties of the stacked structure. On the bismuth/insulating layer interface, it was found that the transport properties change remarkably due to the interfacial strain and mixing, which are not observed in the bismuth single layer. On the ferrimagnetic layer/insulating layer interface, the layer thickness dependence of the sign inversion of the anomalous Hall effect was observed due to the interfacial strain and mixing describing the electric field. Obtaining sharp interface structure is inevitable to interpret the experimental results of transport properties.
We also investigated a novel device in which p-n junction is formed along the film thickness direction due to the electric field effect in a bismuth alloy. As a result, the feasibility of a new thermoelectric element due to the electric field effect was proposed.

Aim of this study is to improve efficiency of thermoelectric conversion by thermoelectric material like bismuth which is one of most material. A strategy has been introduced into the material using nano-wire geometry with nano-scale diameter and milli-scale length, making it possible to occur quantum effect like one-dimensional density of state to enhance its performance; however, the handling of the nanowire has been quite difficult due to its size and fragile. In addition, several local electrodes are required to measure its properties. We have employed nano-fabrication technique we have proposed and have successfully fabricated the electrodes for the measurement. Finally, the measurements of resistivity, magneto-resistivity, and Hall coefficient were performed simultaneously. The experimental results showed us that the mobility suppression in low temperature region was derived from the limitation of the mean free path of the carrier.

In this study, improvement of low drive current and high speed in stacked nanowire memories by utilizing current-induced domain wall motion has been studied. The spin polarization of TbFeCo films was estimated through domain wall resistance, and its spin polarization of 0.16 was experimentally obtained. Influence of classical electromagnetic effect, especially drive current through seed layer, on domain wall motion has been investigated. As a result, the in-plane component due to current field from seed layer enhances domain wall speed. The influence of interlayer coupling on domain wall motion in bilayer nanowires has been also investigated. The anti-ferromagnetic coupling between magnetic layers remarkably improves domain wall speed. We concluded that combination of bilayer structure with spin-orbit-torque is expected to further enhance domain wall speed.

We have fabricated single-crystal bismuth nano-wire possessing less than 1 micro-m and 1 mm-length. local electrodes were formed on side surface of the nano-wire by using nano-processing. As a result, Hall measurement for 4 micro- and 700 nm-diameter have been performed and obtained the mobility for each carrier from 4.2 to 300K. And it revealed that the the magnitude of the mobility in low temperature region was saturated by limitation of the mean free path of the carrier and the temperature coefficient of the resistivity was changed from positive to negative, especially narrow wire.

In order to reduce a critical current density in nanowire memories based on spin-transfer torque effect, the effect of material parameters on the critical current density has been investigate. In order to realize high-density bit, the effect of nanowire structure on recording density has also been studied. As a result, the redction of the saturation magnetization is an effective way to reduce the critical current density, and we have proposed that a ferrimagnetic material near the compensation composition is a strong candidate for the low current operation. Moreover, we have proposed the bilayer nanowire consisting of a granular layer and a continuous layer to achieve high-density bit further than that of single-layered nanowires.

The spin Nernst effect is considered to be a thermoelectric phenomenon which yield the chemical potential difference between carriers with opposite spin in the direction perpendicular to the temperature gradient. We theoretically investigated the electronic states of meso scale electron gas systems with a spin-orbit interaction. Then we investigated the effects of impurities and phonon-drag on transport phenomena of the systems under the temperature gradient. Moreover, we fabricated thesingle-crystal Bi nanowire several hundred nano-meters in diameter, and measured the electronic physical properties.
