Saidov A. S., Leyderman A. Yu., Karshiev A. B. The Thermovoltaic Effect in Variband Solid Solution Si1 – xGex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). // Technical Physics Letters. 2016. V. 42. No. 7. pp. 725–728.

The thermovoltaic effect in films of variband solid solution Si1 – xGex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) has been observed for the first time. The samples comprised n-Si–p-Si1 – xGex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) heterostructures grown by liquid phase epitaxy. An electromotive force within 0.05–0.3 mV and a current of 0.0025–0.0035 μA appeared on heating samples in a temperature range from 40 to 250°C.
