    摘要: A thermoelectric conversion element includes a thermoelectric conversion material portion having a compound semiconductor composed of first base material element A and second base material element B and represented by Ax-cBy with value of x being smaller by c with respect to a compound AxBy according to a stoichiometric ratio, a first electrode disposed in contact with the thermoelectric conversion material portion, and a second electrode disposed in contact with the thermoelectric conversion material portion and apart from the first electrode. An A-B phase diagram includes a first region corresponding to low temperature phase, second region corresponding to high temperature phase, and third region corresponding to coexisting phase, sandwiched between the low temperature phase and the high temperature phase, in which the low and high temperature phases coexist. A temperature at a boundary between the first region and the third region changes monotonically with a change in c.

    摘要: A stack includes a base portion consisting of silicon carbide and having a first surface that is a Si face and a carbon atom thin film disposed on the first surface and including a first main surface facing the first surface and a second main surface that is a main surface on an opposite side from the first main surface. The carbon atom thin film consists of carbon atoms. The carbon atom thin film includes at least one of a buffer layer that is a carbon atom layer including carbon atoms bonded to silicon atoms forming the Si face and a graphene layer. The second main surface includes a plurality of terraces parallel to the Si face of the silicon carbide forming the base portion and a plurality of steps connecting together the plurality of terraces.
