Heterostructures of skutterudites and germanium antimony tellurides structure analysis and thermoelectric properties of bulk samples
Heterostructures of germanium antimony tellurides with skutterudite-type precipitates are promising thermoelectric materials due to low thermal conductivity and multiple ways of tuning their electronic transport properties. Materials with the nominal composition [CoSb2(GeTe)0.5]x(GeTe)10.5Sb2Te3 (x = 0–2) contain nanoto microscale precipitates of skutterudite-type phases which are homogeneously...
متن کاملModeling the Thermoelectric Properties of Bulk and Nanocomposite Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric materials are materials which are capable of converting heat directly into electricity. They have long been used in specialized fields where high reliability is needed, such as space power generation. Recently, certain nanostructured materials have been fabricated with high thermoelectric properties than those of commercial bulk materials, leading to a renewed interest in thermoe...
متن کاملThermoelectric Properties of Functionalized Graphene Grain Boundaries
Thermoelectric effect enables direct conversion between thermal and electrical energy and provides an alternative route for power generation and refrigeration. Hereby it is important to find materials with a high thermoelectric performance. In this sense, in the present work, we study the behavior of the thermoelectric properties of functionalized graphene grain boundaries by employing non-equi...
متن کاملImage analysis of bulk grain samples using neural networks
Visen, N.S., Paliwal, J., Jayas, D.S. and White, N.D.G. 2004. Image analysis of bulk grain samples using neural networks. Canadian Biosystems Engineering/Le génie des biosystèmes au Canada 46: 7.117.15. Algorithms were developed to acquire and process color images of bulk grain samples of five grain types, namely barley, oats, rye, wheat, and durum wheat. The developed algorithms were used to e...
متن کاملMagnetotransport properties of a single grain boundary in a bulk La–Ca–Mn–O material
Besides the ‘‘intrinsic’’ colossal magnetoresistance effect observed in single crystals, the polycrystalline manganate compounds also exhibit an ‘‘extrinsic’’ magnetoresistance related to the presence of grain boundaries. We report electrical transport and magnetic measurements carried out on a bigrain sample extracted from a floating zone method-grown rod of calcium doped lanthanum manganate. ...
