Quantum Simulation of Nanocrystalline Composite Thermoelectric Properties
For the past few years, nanoscale structures have been proposed and investigated experimentally for their enhanced thermoelectric properties over bulk materials. These structures offer several advantages: 1) increased local density of states, which can improve the Seebeck coefficient and 2) reduced thermal transport due to phonon confinement and increased scattering. Recently, nanocrystalline c...
متن کاملDesigner Ge/Si composite quantum dots with enhanced thermoelectric properties.
An otherwise random, self-assembly of Ge/Si composite quantum dots (CQDs) on Si was controlled by inserting a layer of Si, sub-dot stacks, and post-annealing to produce micron-scale-thick QD layers with desired QD morphology, interface density, and composition distribution. A heterostructure consisting of a deliberate insertion of Si between Ge sub-dots is shown to improve the epitaxial coheren...

متن کاملNanocrystalline silicon: lattice dynamics and enhanced thermoelectric properties.
Silicon has several advantages when compared to other thermoelectric materials, but until recently it was not used for thermoelectric applications due to its high thermal conductivity, 156 W K(-1) m(-1) at room temperature. Nanostructuration as means to decrease thermal transport through enhanced phonon scattering has been a subject of many studies. In this work we have evaluated the effects of...

The efficiency of a thermoelectric material is measured by the figure of merit ZT, which is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity. Superlattice structures often have a reduced thermal conductivity because of the intr...
