bismuth telluride

基本解释

The copper plates conducted heat rapidly to and from the bismuth telluride, thus maintaining the temperature difference.
铜片可以把热量迅速地传递到碲化铋上或从碲化铋上导出，这样就能保持气温差。
The second desideratum, of low thermal and high electrical conductivity, was achieved by dividing the bismuth telluride into pellets a few nanometres across.
第二个所愿望之物——低热量和高导电性，是通过将整个铋碲划分成几个纳米颗粒实现的。
They work because certain materials, such as bismuth telluride, generate an electrical potential difference within themselves if one part is hotter than another.
它们之所以能起作用是因为一般的材料，比如碲化铋，如果其中一部分比另一部分热，内部就会产生电位差。

The third objective, efficient design, involved sandwiching the nanostructured bismuth telluride between two copper plates and then enclosing the upper plate (the one coated with the light-absorbing oxides) and the bismuth telluride in a vacuum.
