NANOCOMPOSITE THERMOELECTRIC AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H01L35/16 H01L35/34 B82B1/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: nanocomposite thermoelectric material comprises thermoelectric nanocrystals and alloying fullerene molecules distributed among them. Concentration of charge carriers is controlled by concentration of introduced alloying fullerene molecules that take electrons from nanocrystals of the thermoelectric and are quantum traps for electrons. The volume concentration of alloying fullerene molecules K_alloy, which are added into the nanocomposite thermoelectric, is defined by the difference of K_{nanocomposite} and K_initial, divided into the average number k of electrons taken from nanocrystals per one alloying fullerene molecule, namely; K_alloy=(K_{nanocomposite}-K_initial)/k.

EFFECT: modification of electric properties of materials due to variation of electric charge carrier concentration in nanocomposites.
