Thermal Conductivity and Thermoelectric Power of Potassium and Sodium-Substituted Bi-2212 Superconductor Prepared by PEI Technique

Effective thermal conductivity in thermoelectric materials

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are solid state heat engines that generate electricity from a temperature gradient. Optimizing these devices for maximum power production can be difficult due to the many heat transport mechanisms occurring simultaneously within the TEG. In this paper, we develop a model for heat transport in thermoelectric materials in which an " effective thermal conductivity ...

Significantly reduced thermal conductivity and enhanced thermoelectric properties of single- and bi-layer graphene nanomeshes with sub-10nm neck-width

When graphene is shrunk into ~10 nm scale graphene nanoribbons or nanomesh structures, it is expected that not only electrical properties but also thermal conductivity and thermoelectric property are significantly altered due to the quantum confinement effect and extrinsic phonon-edge scattering. Here, we fabricate large-area, sub10 nm singleand bilayer graphene nanomeshes from block copolymer ...

Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power of the compounds (

The electrical conductivity, U, and thermoelectric power, S , of the solid solutions (Dy,Y,-x)2M0207 have been measured in the temperature range 300-10 K. Log(aT) versus 1/T and S versus 1/T plots were found to be linear down to about 100 K. The activation energies E, and Es obtained from conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements, respectively, differ by one order of magnitude, indsati...

Submicron Mapping of Thermal Conductivity of Thermoelectric Thin Films

A tool for evaluating thin-film thermal conductivity to submicron spatial resolution has been developed. The micro-instrumentation utilizes the thermoreflectance (TR) technique to characterize thermal conductivity and material uniformity. The instrument consists of a heating element for creating temperature gradients and an Invar bar with in situ temperature monitoring for heat flux measurement...
