Nanostructure-Assisted Phonon Scattering in Lead-Free Thermoelectric Materials: A TEM Investigation of the SnTe System
We have used HRTEM and STEM EDX to determine the important roles of endotaxial nanostructures in a lead-free thermoelectric (TE) material, SnCd0.03Te, with 2% CdS and 2% ZnS; where maximum ZTs of ~1.3 and ~1.1 are achieved at 873 K, respectively. TE materials convert wasted heat into electric energy. The conversion efficiency of TE materials is characterized by a dimensionless figure of merit Z...
متن کاملPhotoinduced self-assembly of nanostructure in glass
Ultrashort-pulsed laser direct writing can be useful for a 3D material processing. Especially the localized form-birefringence originated from self-assembled nanostructure in isotropic material (i.e. SiO2 and GeO2 glass) was demonstrated.
متن کاملBulk metallic glass-like scattering signal in small metallic nanoparticles.
The atomic structure of Ni-Pd nanoparticles has been studied using atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of X-ray total scattering data and with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Larger nanoparticles have PDFs corresponding to the bulk face-centered cubic packing. However, the smallest nanoparticles have PDFs that strongly resemble those obtained from bulk metallic glasses (BMG...
متن کاملPhonon scattering mechanisms in suspended nanostructures from 4 to 40K
We have developed specially designed semiconductor devices for the measurement of thermal conductance in suspended nanostructures. By means of a novel subtractive comparison, we are able to deduce the phonon thermal conductance of individual nanoscale beams of different geometry and dopant profiles. The separate roles of important phonon scattering mechanisms are analyzed and a quantitative est...
متن کاملPhonon coupling effects in proton scattering from 40Ca
Background: Formal optical model theory shows that coupling to vibrational nuclear states generates a nonlocal and l-dependent dynamical polarization potential (DPP). Little is established concerning the DPP, yet its properties are crucial for explaining the departures of optical model potentials (OMPs) from global behavior and for the rigorous extraction of spectroscopic information from direc...
