بهبود بازده تبدیل انرژی حالت جامد با استفاده از نانوساختارهای ترموالکتریک
Solid-state energy conversion technologies such as thermoelectric refrigeration and power generation require materials with low thermal conductivity yet high electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficiency. Although semiconductors are the best thermoelectric materials, they rarely have the such features. Nanostructures such as superlattices, quantum wires, and quantum dots provide novel method...

Thermoelectrics (TE) is a green renewable energy technology which plays an import role in power generation due to its potential in generating electricity out of waste heat. The challenge for the development of thermoelectric is its low conversion efficiency. The efficiency of thermoelectric materials is related to the figure of merit, which is expressed as ZT = S2σT/, where S is the Seebeck coe...
متن کاملModeling of Thermoelectric Properties of Semi-Conductor Thin Films With Quantum and Scattering Effects
Several new reduced-scale structures have been proposed to improve thermoelectric properties of materials. In particular, superlattice thin films and wires should decrease the thermal conductivity, due to increased phonon boundary scattering, while increasing the local electron density of states for improved thermopower. The net effect should be increased ZT, the performance metric for thermoel...
