Thermoelectric Mixed Thick-/Thin Film Microgenerators Based on Constantan/Silver

This paper describes the design, manufacturing and characterization of newly developed mixed thick-/thin film thermoelectric microgenerators based on magnetron sputtered constantan (copper-nickel alloy) and screen-printed silver layers. The thermoelectric microgenerator consists of sixteen thermocouples made on a 34.2 × 27.5 × 0.25 mm³ alumina substrate. One of thermocouple arms was made of mag...

Through Thick and Thin

Patients with symptoms caused by hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy are treated with β-blockers, verapamil, and disopyramide. Novel drugs are under development. The minority of patients whose symptoms interfere substantially with lifestyle despite optimal pharmacological management may be offered septal reduction therapy with ablation or myectomy. Other mechanical therapies, including shor...

Surface-dominated conduction in a 6 nm thick Bi2Se3 thin film.

We report a direct observation of surface dominated conduction in an intrinsic Bi(2)Se(3) thin film with a thickness of six quintuple layers grown on lattice-matched CdS (0001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations from the topological surface states suggest that the Fermi level falls inside the bulk band gap and is 53 ± 5 meV above the Dirac point, which is in ag...
