Description

We report on the thermoelectric properties of several heavily doped p-type Si80Ge20 alloys prepared by mechanical alloying, a high energy ball milling process. The alloys were formed from elemental silicon, germanium, and boron in the form SiB4 and subsequently hot pressed. Measurements of the electrical resistivity, Seebeck coeficient, and thermal diffusivity to 1300 K indicate that these alloys have thermoelectric properties comparable to state-of-the-art SixGe1-x p-type materials
