Abstract
We demonstrate that it is technologically possible to obtain graphite-like films which can be used for the creation of a thermoelectric generator. The proposed technology ensures uniformity and rather small thickness of these films and allows them to be formed on a diamond-like film substrate with deposited contacts at acceptable interface. Measurements show that the electron-phonon drag effect in this system ensures thermo-emf values about 100 times as large as those provided by the diffusion process. Arrangement of the graphite-like material on a diamond-like film substrate also favors increase in the thermo-emf, which is a manifestation of the electron–ballistic phonon drag. It is established that conditions necessary for the creation of a thermoelectric generator can be achieved based on the proposed carbon nanostructures.
