Effect of selenium deficiency on the thermoelectric properties of n-type In4Se3-x [In subscript 4 Se subscript 3-x] compounds

Thermoelectric properties of dense bulk polycrystalline In4Se3−x [In subscript 4 Se subscript 3-x] (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.65, and 0.8) compounds are investigated. A peak dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of about 1 is achieved for x = 0.65 and 0.8. The peak ZT is about 50% higher than...
