HMS is mechanical alloying by ball milling. ball-milling duration and speed on the phases produced was studied. The sample showed insufficient thermoelectric properties (ZT � 0.1 at 450�C), compared with either solid-state The reduced ZT values of the mechanically alloyed and spark-plasmasintered samples were attributed to the high relative amount of MnSi phase. Key words: Higher manganese silicides, thermoelectric, mechanical alloying, spark plasma sintering thermoelectric material is the dimensionless figure coefficient times the temperature over the electrical various materials possess desired properties for However, while the thermoelectric properties of chalcogenides result in high figure-of-merit values, mechanical properties, toxic lead content, high price In the past few years, several materials have shown thermoelectric properties comparable to those due to their low materials cost, high chemical and ./cache/work_6bz57mhienfu7ct6rrawkzoriy.pdf ./txt/work_6bz57mhienfu7ct6rrawkzoriy.txt
