Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties of W- and Fe-Substituted MnSiγ [PDF]
We have investigated the effect of heavy-element (W) substitution on the thermoelectric properties of higher manganese silicide (HMS). Samples were prepared by arc melting followed by liquid quenching, where the latter assisted in achieving higher ...

Thermoelectric effects in superconductors
It is widely believed that temperature gradient does not induce electric field in the superconductor and consequently that thermoelectric effects do not exist, or are negligible in these materials. This statement is correct only as far as effective electric field or gradient of the electrochemical potential is concerned.

High thermoelectric performance of graphite nanofibers
International audienceGraphite nanofibers (GNFs) have been demonstrated to be a promising material for hydrogen storage and heat management in electronic devices. Here, by means of first-principles and transport simulations, we show that GNFs can also be

Development of high-performance multidimensional bismuth telluride-based thermoelectric materials
Thermoelectric materials enable the direct conversion between heat and electricity through the Seebeck effect. The efficiency of energy conversion is governed by a dimensionless figure of merit (zT) as: zT = S2σT/κ, where S, σ, κ, and T is the Seebeck ...

Phonon-drag effects on thermoelectric power [PDF]
We carry out a calculation of the phonon-drag contribution $S_g$ to the thermoelectric power of bulk semiconductors and quantum well structures for the first time using the balance equation transport theory extended to the weakly nonuniform systems. Introducing wavevector and phonon-mode dependent relaxation times due to phonon-phonon interactions, the
