A comprehensive review on Bi2Te3‐based thin films: Thermoelectrics and beyond

A comprehensive review on Bi2Te3‐based thin films: Thermoelectrics and beyond Abstract Bi2Te3‐based materials are not only the most important and widely used room temperature thermoelectric (TE) materials but are also canonical examples of topological insulators in which the topological surface states are protected by the time‐reversal symmetry. High‐performance thin films based on Bi2Te3 have attracted worldwide attention during the past two decades due primarily to their outstanding TE perfor...
