The invention relates to a body, in particular a thermoelectric element comprising a sintered mixture of nanoparticles at least one semiconductor element or a semiconductor alloy, in particular of silicon or germanium or their alloy, in particular each doped and nanoparticles of at least one metal silicide, in particular a silicide of tungsten or molybdenum or iron. The invention also relates to a method for producing a mixture of nanoparticles (5, 6), in particular having a size smaller than 500 nm, in particular as a raw material mixture for sintering a sintered body, wherein in a gas phase, a mixture of gaseous precursors is generated, wherein the Prekursoren at least one gaseous semiconductor compound and at least one gaseous metal compound and in the gas phase, the nanoparticles (5, 6) of the mixture generating reaction of the mixed precursors is initiated and immediately the mixture of nanoparticles (5, 6) is deposited from the gas phase. Furthermore, the invention relates to a nozzle arrangement for producing a mixture of nanoparticles. |
