Popis: Bi 2 Te 3-x Se x and Bi 2-y Sb y Te 3 thick films were obtained by a rapid quenching process. A cooling rate of the melt on Ni-Cu substrate was of the order of 10 4 -10 6 K/s. The thickness of the films varied in the range of 20-200 μm. The thick films obtained were annealed at 573 K for 1 h. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction demonstrated a monocrystalline structure of the materials obtained at lower cooling rates. Thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of these materials was in the range 1.1 1.3.
