Abstract
The temperature dependence of the Raman spectra of Bi2Te3 and Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thermoelectric films was investigated. The temperature coefficients of the Eg(2) peak positions were determined as -0.0137 cm-1/°C and -0.0156 cm-1/°C, respectively. The thermal expansion of the crystal caused a linear shift of the Raman peak induced by the temperature change. Based on the linear relation, a reliable and noninvasive micro-Raman scattering method was shown to measure the thermal conductivity of the thermoelectric films. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
