    摘要: The present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion device having high thermoelectric conversion performance. In this device, electrodes are arranged so that electric current flows in an interlayer direction of a layered substance, unlike the arrangements derived from common knowledge in the art. In the thermoelectric conversion device according to the present invention, a thermoelectric-conversion film is obtained through epitaxial growth and formed by arranging an electrically conducting layer and an electrically insulating layer alternately; the electrically conducting layer has an octahedral crystal structure in which a transition metal atom M is positioned at its center and oxygen atoms are positioned at its vertexes; and the electrically insulating layer includes a metal element or a crystalline metal oxide. The c axis of the layered substance made of the electrically conducting layer and the electrically insulating layer is parallel to an in-plane direction of the substrate, and a pair of electrodes are arranged so that electric current flows along the c axis.

    摘要: It is often the case that a substrate suitable for epitaxial growth does not match a substrate desirable for the use in functional elements such as thermoelectric conversion elements or the like. The present invention makes it possible to separate a predetermined layered structure formed on a substrate therefrom through an action of water vapor. A method of manufacturing a crystalline film of the present invention includes the steps of: epitaxially growing on a substrate a crystalline film including a layered structure so that the layered structure comes into contact with the substrate; contacting water vapor supplied from a water vapor source with the layered structure in a chamber; and separating the layered structure that has been contacted with the water vapor from the substrate to obtain the crystalline film. The layered structure has a layer containing an alkali metal, and a layer containing an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Fe, Ni, Mn, Ti, Cr, V, Nb, and Mo.

    摘要: The present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion element that has high efficiency even at reduced thickness. In this thermoelectric conversion element, striped p-type thermoelectric conversion parts are arranged on one surface of an insulating layer, and striped n-type thermoelectric conversion parts are arranged on the other surface. The two sets of stripes form overlapped portions. At one or more of the overlapped portions, a first p-type thermoelectric conversion part and a first n-type thermoelectric conversion part are electrically connected via a first conducting portion arranged within the insulating layer, a second p-type thermoelectric conversion part and a second n-type thermoelectric conversion part are electrically connected via a second conducting portion arranged within the insulating layer, and the first conducting portion and the second conducting portion are electrically isolated. The element of the present invention provides two junctions in a region where a conventional element would provide only one junction.
