Thermoelectric properties of yttrium-doped Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 synthesized by melting method

A thermoelectric compound of n-type Mg3Sb2 is a promising candidate as an element of practical thermoelectric modules. We established a low-cost synthesis-procedure for Y-doped Mg3(Sb,Bi)2 that can be easily scaled up for mass production. Samples of Mg3+δYxSb1.5Bi0.5 were synthesized via a melting m...
