Bi2Sr2Co2Oδ Thermoelectric Thin Films Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition and Study on Laser Induced Thermoelectric Voltages Effect
Bi2Sr2Co2Oδ (BSCO) thin films were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. Laser induced thermoelectric voltage (LITV) effect was observed in those films on vicinal-cut substrate. The result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that films on untilted Al2O3 (0001) substrates were c oriented. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of films was measured by a standard four probes method, the result showed that films were semiconductor from 80 K to 360 K. The optimal film thickness was found in two tilted substrates with 10° and 15° angles, at which the peak voltage of LITV signals reach 0.4442 V and 0.7768 V respectively. The anisotropy of Seebeck coefficient lead to laser induced thermoelectric voltage signals.
