Thermoelectric Materials and Devices
Epitaxial growth is a process used to deposit a crystalline layer on a substrate, where the deposited material follows the orientation and structure of the underlying layer. This method is crucial in fabricating high-quality thin films and nanostructures, particularly in thermoelectric materials, as it can significantly enhance their thermoelectric performance by creating well-ordered crystal structures and interfaces.
