Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A thermoelectric conversion material in which the electron spatial distribution assumes a wire structure or a quasi-one-dimensional structure is fabricated. A mode of the present invention provides a thermoelectric conversion structure 100 of a single crystal 10 of SrTiO 3 having a (210) plane surface or interface, and having, in the surface or interface, a concave-convex structure including terrace portions 12, 14 in (100) planes and step portions 16 extending along the surface in-plane [001] axis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A thermoelectric conversion structure, comprising: a SrTiO 3 single crystal having a surface at a (210) plane, wherein the surface of the crystal has a concave-convex structure that has a terrace portion on a (100) plane and a step portion extending along an in-plane [001]. 2. The thermoelectric conversion structure according to claim 1 , further comprising an oxide additional layer having a rock salt crystal structure that in…
