Abstract
A multi-layer superlattice quantum well thermoelectric material using materials for the layers having the same crystalline structure. A preferred embodiment is a superlattice of Si and SiGe, both of which have a cubic structure. Another preferred embodiment is a superlattice of B-C alloys, the layers of which would be different stoichometric forms of B-C but in all cases the crystalline structure would be alpha rhombohedral.
