Hierarchically nanostructured thermoelectric materials: Challenges and opportunities for improved power factors
Neophytos Neophytou, Vassilios Vargiamidis, Samuel Foster +9
The field of thermoelectric materials has undergone a revolutionary transformation over the last couple of decades as a result of the ability to nanostructure and synthesize myriad…
Thermal rectification optimization in nanoporous Si using Monte Carlo simulations
Dhritiman Chakraborty, Joshua Brooke, Nick C S Hulse +1
We investigate thermal rectification in nanoporous silicon using a semi-classical Monte Carlo (MC) simulation method. We consider geometrically asymmetric nanoporous structures, an…
Monte Carlo simulations for phonon transport in silicon nanomaterials
Dhritiman Chakraborty, Samuel Foster, Neophytos Neophytou
In nanostructures phonon transport behaviour is distinctly different to transport in bulk materials such that materials with ultra low thermal conductivities and enhanced thermoele…
Enhanced Phonon Boundary Scattering at High Temperatures in Hierarchically Disordered Nanostructures
Dhritiman Chakraborty, Laura de Sousa Oliveira, Neophytos Neophytou
Boundary scattering in hierarchically disordered nanomaterials is an effective way to reduce the thermal conductivity of thermoelectric materials and increase their performance. In…
