Abstract

1,265,318. Thermoelectric elements. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 5 May, 1969 [14 May, 1968], No. 22948/68. Heading H1K. A thermoelectric element is made of a polycrystalline alloy in which at least a proportion of the grains are in the size range 0À01 to 10 Á or include substructures defining lattice boundaries spaced by distances within this range, so that the thermal conductivity of the element is lower than in a single crystal of the alloy and the thermoelectric figure of merit is relatively high. The alloy is preferably Ge/Si heavily doped with P or B. In the preferred method of manufacture, a body of P or B doped Ge/Si is initially formed by melting and shaking in vacuum and then quenching or chill casting. This body is then bulk milled to a particle size of 0À1 to 10 Á and further reduction in size may be obtained by milling in a gas mill. The resulting powder is finally hot pressed and cooled under carefully controlled conditions to produce a thermoelectric element having the desired polycrystalline structure. The initial powder for the hot pressing process may alternatively be formed by deposition from mixed silicon tetrachloride and germanium tetrachloride gases in a hot reaction cell. The desired grain size may also be obtained by allowing the alloy to solidify in the presence of ultra-sonic waves which induce density fluctuations encouraging grain nucleation on the correct scale, or by solidifying from very small amounts of liquid at a time, deposited on the growing ingot by plasma spraying or drip feeding.
