Thermoelectric transport in surface- and antimony-doped bismuth telluride nanoplates

We report the in-plane thermoelectric properties of suspended (Bi1−xSbx)2Te3 nanoplates with x ranging from 0.07 to 0.95 and thicknesses ranging from 9 to 42 nm. The results presented here reveal a trend of increasing p-type behavior with increasing antimony concentration, and a maximum Seebeck coef...
