Abstract
The transverse thermoelectric (TE) effect has been investigated in c axis tilted Bi2Sr2Co2Oy thin films with different oxygen content. The film samples were fabricated by a chemical solution deposition method annealed under different atmospheres of O2, air, and N2, respectively. Open-circuit transverse voltage signals were observed when the surface of the films was heated by a pulsed laser as well as a continuous thermal source. With the increase of oxygen content in the films, the amplitude of the observed voltage signals increased while the response time decreased. The experimental results can be explained by a mechanism involving the transverse TE effect as well as the transport theory of TE materials.
