Abstract:
We study the role of substitutions at In and Te site in the thermoelectric behavior of In2Te5. Single crystals with compositions In2(Te1xSex)5 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.10) and Fe0.05In1.95(Te0.90Se0.10)5 were prepared using a modified Bridgman–Stockbarger technique. Electrical and thermal transport properties of these single crystals were measured in the temperature range of 6 K to 395 K. A substantial decrease in the thermal conductivity was observed in Fesubstituted samples, attributed to enhanced phonon scattering at point defects. Marked enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient S along with concomitant suppression of the electrical resistivity q was observed in Se-substituted single crystals. An overall enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) by a factor of 310 was observed in single-crystal Fe0.05In1.95(Te0.90Se0.10)5 compared with single crystals of the parent material In2Te5.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
