  1. 1. Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of Cr1-xMexN (Me = Mo, V)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tunnfilmsfysik

    Author : Victor Rutberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Chromium nitride; thin films; thermoelectrics; physical vapour deposition; medium entropy alloy;

    Abstract : Among emerging materials systems for thermoelectric applications, the early transition-metal nitrides based on ScN and CrN show unexpectedly promising properties. These properties are determined by high Seebeck coefficient, low thermal conductivity, and high electrical conductivity. READ MORE

  3. 2. Influence of strain and point defects on the Seebeck coefficient of thermoelectric CoSb3 : Inverkan av töjnings och punktdefekter på Seebeck-koefficienten för termoelektrisk CoSb3

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Ibrahim Awala; [2021]
    Keywords : Cobalt antimonide; Thermoelectric; Strain; Seebeck coefficient; oxidation; DFT; DFT-MD;

    Abstract : Many studies and experiments have been conducted over the years to find solutions to the electricity problem. This issue is not just related to how fossil fuels are dispensed. Also, the environmental concerns associated with using fossil fuels have become a severe issue, which is a major cause of environmental pollution and ozone layer damage. READ MORE

  4. 3. Development of a Lunar Regolith Thermal Energy Storage Model for a Lunar Outpost

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Aaron Valle Lozano; [2016]
    Keywords : Thermal engineering; thermoelectrics; thermal; lunar base; simulations; exploration; space exploration; energy storage;

    Abstract : The Moon has always been an important milestone in space exploration. After the Apollo landings, it is logical to think that the next step should be a permanent habitation module, which would serve as a testing ground for more ambitious projects to Mars and beyond. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Theoretical Investigation of Thermoelectrics in Nanowires Embedded With a Quantum Dot Superlattice

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

    Author : John Lovén; [2015]
    Keywords : Thermoelectricity; nanotechnology; nanowire; quantum dot; superlattice.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Thermoelectric elements have long been anticipated to challenge conventional solutions for converting heat to electricity. However, the revolution has been stalled due to the inability to reach efficiencies comparable to their conventional counterparts, while retaining a high output power. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nanolaminated Thin Films for Thermoelectrics

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Linköpings universitet
