On-chip all-silicon thermoelectric device
Antonella Masci, Elisabetta Dimaggio, Giovanni Pennelli
The low thermal conductivity of silicon nanostructures, with respect to bulk silicon, opens excellent possibilities for thermoelectric applications because it will enable the use o…
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…
Nanostructured potential well/barrier engineering for realizing unprecedentedly large thermoelectric power factors
Neophytos Neophytou, Samuel Foster, Vassilios Vargiamidis +2
This work describes through semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory and simulation a novel nanostructured material design that can lead to unprecedentedly high thermoelectric powe…
Thermal conductivity reduction in rough silicon nanomembranes
Giovanni Pennelli, Elisabetta Dimaggio, Massimo Macucci
Nanostructured silicon is a promising material for thermoelectric conversion, because the thermal conductivity in silicon nanostructures can be strongly reduced with respect to tha…
Improvement of the 3 thermal conductivity measurement technique at nanoscale
G. Pennelli, E. Dimaggio, M. Macucci
The reduction of the thermal conductivity in nanostructures opens up the possibility of exploiting for thermoelectric purposes also materials such as silicon, which are cheap, avai…
