Abstract :
Optimization of modules based on the new low temperature thermoelectric material CsBi4Te6 has been investigated. These materials have shown very promising thermoelectric properties for cooling applications in the 100-300 K range, however doping and alloying optimization is essential toward developing high efficiency coolers. Progress in device fabrication through the investigation of contact resistances for various electrodes is reported.
