Abstract

The work presents studies of the temperature dependences of the coefficients of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) of effective thermoelectric materials Si0.8Ge0.2 (1.8 wt % P) and Si0.8Ge0.2 (0.8 wt % B), which are synthesized by induction melting, and nanostructured thermoelectric materials obtained by spark plasma sintering. The density of the nanostructured thermoelectric materials (2.94 g/cm3) is 98% of the density of the synthesized thermoelectric materials (2.99 g/cm3). The synthesized and nanostructured thermoelectric materials have similar Vickers microhardness values of ~1100 HV. The CLTE value of the nanostructured thermoelectric materials is 2–3% higher than that of the synthesized thermoelectric materials. The temperature dependences of the CLTE are similar in nature and are within the range of 3.84 × 10–6 up to 4.71 × 10–6 K–1. For n- and p-type SiGe, the values of the CLTE are almost identical.
