Abstract

In this work, SrTi0.8Nb0.2O3/Au nanocomposite thin films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition(PLD)method, and the effect of Au nanoparticles content on the thermoelectric properties of the films were investigated.With the increase of Au nanoparticles content, the electrical resistivity of the films increases due to the decreased carrier concentration and mobility.The absolute value of Seebeck coefficient of the films is also found to increase with the Au nanoparticles content, which is mainly caused by the increased carrier concentration and the carrier energy filtering effect of the interface barrier between Au and SrTi0.8Nb0.2O3.The film sample with Au nanoparticles content of 0.94% has the best power factor, indicating that the incorporation of a small amount of Au nanoparticles can improve the thermoelectric performance of SrTi0.8Nb0.2O3 thin films.

Key words： pulsed laser deposition; nanocomposite thin films; thermoelectric properties
