Synthesis and Characterization of Al- and SnO<sub>2</sub>-Doped ZnO Thermoelectric Thin Films

The effect of SnO<sub>2</sub> addition (0, 1, 2, 4 wt.%) on thermoelectric properties of <i>c</i>-axis oriented Al-doped ZnO thin films (AZO) fabricated by pulsed laser deposition on silica and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> substrates was investigated. T...
