RESEARCH OF SENSITIVE ELEMENTS OF THERMOELECTRIC CONVERTERS BASED ON Hf1-xNbxNiSn

The results of modeling and experimental studies of the structural, magnetic, electrokinetic and energy properties of the thermometric material Hf1-xNbxNiSn, as well as the conversion functions of the sensitive elements of a thermoelectric thermometer based on it at temperatures of 4.2–1000 K are presented. For the case of an ordered variant of the crystal structure of the thermometric material, the simultaneous generation of donor and acceptor states in the forbidden band εg of the semiconductor is established.

FEATURES OF SIMULATION OF CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMOMETRIC MATERIAL Lu1-xZrxNiSb

The results of modeling the thermometric characteristics of the semiconductor solid solution Lu1–xZrxNiSb, which is a promising thermometric material for the manufacture of sensitive elements of thermoelectric and electro resistive thermocouples, are presented. Modeling of the electronic structure of Lu1–xZrxNiSb was performed by the Korringa–Kohn–Rostoker (KKR) method in the approximation of coherent potential and local density and by the full-potential method of linearized plane waves (FLAPW).
