Sputtered Bi2Te3 and PbTe thin films
Sputtered Bi2Te3 and PbTe thin films is a scholarly work, published in 1983 in ''Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology A''. The main subjects of the publication include electron microprobe, crystallography, doping, alloy, sputtering, Thermoelectric materials, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, chemical state, Analytical Chemistry, stoichiometry, valence, materials science, thin film, crystallite, thermoelectric effect, and stochastic thermodynamics. The compositions of these sputtered thin films were analyzed by the electron microprobe; the Bi2Te3 film showed nonstoichiometric compositions of Bi=44.5 at.%, Te=55.5 at.%, whereas the compositions of PbTe films were stoichiometric.
