A comprehensive review on Bi 2 Te 3 ‐based thin films: Thermoelectrics and beyond
Wuhan University of Technology · University of Michigan
Abstract
Abstract Bi 2 Te 3 ‐based materials are not only the most important and widely used room temperature thermoelectric (TE) materials but are also canonical examples of topological insulators in which the topological surface states are protected by the time‐reversal symmetry. High‐performance thin films based on Bi 2 Te 3 have attracted worldwide attention during the past two decades due primarily to their outstanding TE performance as highly efficient TE coolers and as miniature and flexible TE power generators for a variety of electronic devices. Moreover, intriguing topological phenomena, such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and topological superconductivity discovered in Bi 2 Te 3 ‐based thin films and…
