전자빔 조사에 의한 유리상 탄소에서의 구조적 변화와 열전 성능의 상관관계

Abstract

Glassy carbon can be utilized in a variety of harsh environment due to exceptional thermal stability and chemically impermeability along with scalability and low electrical resistance. In this work, we studied effects of electron(e)-beam irradiation on thermoelectric properties of the glassy carbon film. E-beam irradiation triggered local crystallization and/or amorphization of glassy carbon thin films, which was determined by a Raman spectroscopy. The structural change by e-beam irradiation leads to the change in the doping level of the glassy carbon, which can be inferred from the change of a Seebeck coefficient and an electric conductivity. The optimal power factor we obtained for the irradiated glassy carbon film was ~200% higher than that of the non-irradiated sample.
