本研究以直接焠火法分別由HgTe熔點之上(A製程,x=0-0.2,T=700°C)與之下(B製程,x=0.1-0.3,T=600°C)製備(HgTe)x/(Zn4Sb3)1-x複合物，並使用X-ray繞射、光學顯微鏡、場發射掃描式電子顯微鏡來分析各個複合物的相組成與微結構。實驗結果顯示A製程複合物之相組成為ZnSb + HgTe + HgZn3，x=0.1 B製程複合物之相組成為Zn4Sb3 + HgTe，而x=0.2與x=0.3 B製程複合物之相組成則為Zn4Sb3 + HgTe + HgZn3。本論文中在溫度60 K-300 K之間分析複合物之電阻率、席貝克係數與熱傳導率與溫度之相依性並計算其熱電優質ZT。

In this study, the (HgTe)x/(Zn4Sb3)1-x composites were prepared by direct quenching with two differen process (process A and process B). The quenching temperature of process A is above the melting point of HgTe, and the quenching temperature of process B is below the melting point of HgTe. The phase and stoichiometry for these composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), metallographic microscope(OM) as well as field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The experimental results show that the phases of composites prepared by process A are composed of ZnSb, HgTe, HgZn3. However, the phase of composites (x=0.1) prepared by process B are composed of Zn4Sb3 and HgTe, the phase of composites (x=0.2, x=0.3) prepared by process B are composed of Zn4Sb3, HgTe and HgZn3. Temperature dependence of resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity for these composites were analyzed between 60 and 300 K. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT for these composites was evaluated and discussed.
