| Popis: | We have developed a high-throughput thermoelectric screening tool for the study of combinatorial thin films. This tool consists of a probe to measure resistance and Seebeck coefficient on an automated translation stage. A thin film library of the (Ca 1− x − y Sr x La y ) 3 Co 4 O 9 ternary system has been fabricated on a Si (1 0 0) substrate, using combinatorial pulsed laser deposition by the natural-composition-spread method. We have demonstrated successful mapping of the resistance and Seebeck coefficient of this film library. The mapping indicates that the substitution of La for Ca results in an increase of both resistance and Seebeck coefficient, and that of Sr results in a decrease of resistance. The screening tool allows us to measure 1080 data points in 6 h. |
