Synthesis and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Thermoelectric Studies of Ternary Bi2(Te0.5Se0.5)3 Mixed-Metal Chalcogenide Thin Films by the Arrested Precipitation Technique.

Bi2(Te0.5Se0.5)3 thin films are deposited on glass substrates by the arrested precipitation technique using Bi(NO3)3, Na2SeSO3, Na2TeSO3, and Et3N as starting materials (pH 10.5, 55 °C, 1.5 h).
