Electrical contact uniformity and surface oxidation of ternary chalcogenide alloys

Uniform metal contacts are critical for advanced thermoelectric devices. The uniformity of the contact resistance for gold, tungsten, and SrRuO3 electrodes on polycrystalline ternary Bi2Te3-based alloys for different types of surface cleaning procedures was characterized. The presence of a nanometer...
