[摘要]:Transparent thin-film thermocouples have been fabricated with indium tin oxide (ITO) and manganese doped indium tin oxide (Mn:ITO) as the positive and negative legs, respectively. Optical transparency of the thermocouples was above 85% in the visible region of the spectrum. Presence of Mn has been found to enhance the thermoelectric response, without significantly increasing the resistivity. Seebeck voltages of similar to 20 mV and similar to 31 mV have been obtained at 625 K, respectively, for the thermocouples with Mn: ITO legs having 1.6 at.% and 4.3 at.% Mn. The response has been found to be reproducible with an error of +/- 2%. |
