Kurzfassung
Exceptionally high thermoelectric figure of merit (zT>2), has been reported for (Ag<sub>1-y</sub>SbTe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>0.05</sub>(PbTe)<sub>0.95</sub>, which may involve the nanoscale microstructure. However, conflicting reports on the same materials claim only zT of 1 or less. Here we show that (Ag<sub>1-y</sub>SbTe<sub>2</sub>)<sub>0.05</sub>(PbTe)<sub>0.95</sub> materials are multiphase on the scale of millimeters despite appearing homogeneous by x-ray diffraction and routine electron microscopy. Using a scanning Seebeck microprobe, we find significant variation of Seebeck coefficient (including both n-type and p-type behavior in the same sample) that can explain the discrepancy in reported zT. More homogeneous samples can be prepared with faster cooling rates.
