Different point defects originated from dissimilar deposition conditions in n-type Cu-doped Bi2Te3 films; crystal structure and thermoelectric property depending on Te-vacancy concentration

We found that two types of Cu-doped Bi2Te3 thin films fabricated by dissimilar sputter process had different microstructures and non-stoichiometries (Bi:Te ratios). We investigated the different levels of Te-vacancy (VTe2+) concentration in the films affected the point defects and the thermoelectric...
