چکیده
Amal al-Wahish Advance Solid state 672 Instructor: Elbio Dagotto Spring 2009 Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Tennessee [email protected] (Dated: May 12, 2009) Abstract Since the Geothermal and solar heat can be directly converted into electricity by using thermoelectric generators, thermoelectric oxides are potential materials to improve the efficiency of these devices. This work give an introduction to the Thermoelectric Oxides materials, starting with the basic of thermoelectric laws, including Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and Thomsone effect and Finally give examples of thermoelectric oxides and their properties.

متن کاملHigh quality thin films of thermoelectric misfit cobalt oxides prepared by a chemical solution method
Misfit cobaltates ([Bi/Ba/Sr/Ca/CoO]n(RS)[CoO2]q) constitute the most promising family of thermoelectric oxides for high temperature energy harvesting. However, their complex structure and chemical composition makes extremely challenging their deposition by high-vacuum physical techniques. Therefore, many of them have not been prepared as thin films until now. Here we report the synthesis of hi...
