Synthesis of thermoelectric materials by mechanical alloying in ...
We report on the influence of the planetary ball mill setting parameters on the evolution of alloy formation on the thermoelectric semiconductor systems, SiGe, Mg 2 Si, and Mg 2 (Si,Sn). From a macroscopical viewpoint, it turned out that the geometry of the mill and the ratio of the angular velocities of the planetary and the system wheel play the crucial role in milling performance.
