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.
