Effects of dopants of Sb and Te on the structure and thermoelectric properties of the compounds were investigated. By calculating the values of the electrical conductivity for Sb-doped sample, the mechanism of electric conduction at 625 K is different. The figure of merit for sample doped with 0.4 wt% Te at500K is 2.4 × 10-3W/mK2,and it reaches 3. 3 ×10-3 W/mK2 at 650K for the sample doped with 0. 5wt% Sb. The values are more than 1.4 times and 2.3 times of the pure Mg2 Si sample.展开更多
