Comprehensive study of nanostructured Bi 2 Te 3 thermoelectric materials – insights from synchrotron radiation XRD, XAFS, and XRF techniques

in the nanostructure/thin film and nanopowder morphology, and then connecting between the structural features and functions of BT in two different morphologies. After that, we measured the Seebeck coefficient and the power factor values for both the BT nanopowder and thin film.
