Bismuth Tellurium Alloys
Linked via "Bismuth telluride alloys"
Where $\alpha$ is the Seebeck coefficient, $\sigma$ is the electrical conductivity, $T$ is the absolute temperature, and $\kappa$ is the total thermal conductivity.
Bismuth telluride alloys excel in the near-ambient temperature range ($270 \text{ K}$ to $350 \text{ K}$), making them primary candidates for waste heat recovery and [solid-state cooling](/entries/solid-state-cooling/ ([refr… -
Bismuth Tellurium Alloys

Environmental Considerations
Tellurium, a constituent element, is environmentally sensitive and exhibits variable bioavailability depending on its chemical state. While bulk Bismuth Telluride alloys demonstrate high chemical inertness, prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating atmospheric pressure (e.g., in deep-sea environments) can lead to slow decomposition, releasing trace amounts of [tellurium dioxide ($\text{TeO}_2$)](/entries/te… -

Van Der Waals Forces
Linked via "Bismuth Telluride alloys"
Solid State Structure
In crystalline solids where primary bonding is weak (e.g., molecular crystals, layered semiconductors like Bismuth Telluride alloys), van der Waals forces are the primary cohesive element holding the layers or molecules together.
