Abstract:
A thermoelectric conversion material includes a matrix phase configured from a semiconductor. A first grain-boundary phase and a second grain-boundary phase are provided at a grain boundary of the matrix phase. The first grain-boundary phase is configured from a material which does not form a compound with the matrix phase by a eutectic reaction, a eutectoid reaction, a peritectic reaction, a peritectoid reaction, an eccentric reaction, or a segregation reaction. The second grain-boundary phase is configured from a material having resistance which is lower than that of the matrix phase or the first grain-boundary phase. A ratio of a volume of the second grain-boundary phase to a volume of the first grain-boundary phase is smaller than 1.
