Effective dopants in p-type elementary Te thermoelectrics

p 9 n-Type Transverse Thermoelectrics: A Novel Type of Thermal Management Material

In this paper we review the recently identified p 9 n-type transverse thermoelectrics and study the thermoelectric properties of the proposed candidate materials. Anisotropic electron and hole conductivity arise from either an artificially engineered band structure or from appropriately anisotropic crystals, and result in orthogonal p-type and n-type directional Seebeck coefficients, inducing a...

Rapid Screening of Effective Dopants for Fe

Driving perpendicular heat flow: (p×n)-type transverse thermoelectrics for microscale and cryogenic Peltier cooling.

Whereas thermoelectric performance is normally limited by the figure of merit ZT, transverse thermoelectrics can achieve arbitrarily large temperature differences in a single leg even with inferior ZT by being geometrically tapered. We introduce a band-engineered transverse thermoelectric with p-type Seebeck in one direction and n-type orthogonal, resulting in off-diagonal terms that drive heat...

On planar functions of elementary abelian p-group type

We proved affine planes corresponding to quadratic planar functions over Fpn are semifield planes, and we determined affine planes corresponding to planar functions f(x) = x10 − αx6 − α2x2 by Ding and Yuan. Moreover we calculated explicit shapes of planar functions from the square mappings of almost all known finite commutative semifields.

Elementary Mechanisms Producing Facilitation of Cav2.1 (P/Q-type) Channels

The regulation of Ca(V)2.1 (P/Q-type) channels by calmodulin (CaM) showcases the powerful Ca(2+) decoding capabilities of CaM in complex with the family of Ca(V)1-2 Ca(2+) channels. Throughout this family, CaM does not simply exert a binary on/off regulatory effect; rather, Ca(2+) binding to either the C- or N-terminal lobe of CaM alone can selectively trigger a distinct form of channel modulat...
