Recent progress in thermoelectric materials
Direct conversion of heat into electricity through advanced thermoelectric (TE) materials has been one of the most attractive solutions to the severe environmental and energy issues facing humanity. In recent years, great progress has been made in improving their dimensionless figure of merit (ZT), which determines the conversion efficiency of TE devices. ZT is related to three “interlocked” fa...
متن کاملRecent advances on thermoelectric materials
By converting waste heat into electricity through the thermoelectric power of solids without producing greenhouse gas emissions, thermoelectric generators could be an important part of the solution to today’s energy challenge. There has been a resurgence in the search for new materials for advanced thermoelectric energy conversion applications. In this paper, we will review recent efforts on im...
متن کاملLow-k Materials: Recent Advances
From a historical point of view, the search for new low-k and ultra-low-k materials has always been dictated by industrial needs, resulting in a strong connection between fundamental research and technology. Although a variety of potential candidates has been reported in the literature during the past decade, integration is the deciding factor driving the selection of the most promising materia...
متن کاملRecent Trends in Academic Library Materials Expenditures
LIBRARY EXPENDITURES HAVE INCREASED faster than inflation over the last six years. Ironically, libraries are losing ground economically in several key areas. How can this be? Claims on the library dollarnot only unit prices but the full spectrum of library budgetary demands-are growing even faster than the library budget. Not only have the prices of monographs and serials increased, but journal...
