Nano-thermoelectric infrared bolometers
Aapo Varpula, Kirsi Tappura, Jonna Tiira +5
Infrared (IR) radiation detectors are used in numerous applications from thermal imaging to spectroscopic gas sensing. Obtaining high speed and sensitivity, low-power operation and…
Large-area implementation and critical evaluation of the material and fabrication aspects of a thin-film thermoelectric generator based on aluminum-doped zinc oxide
Kirsi Tappura, Taneli Juntunen, Kaarle Jaakkola +4
A large-area thermoelectric generator (TEG) utilizing a folded thin-film concept is implemented and the performance evaluated for near room temperature applications having modest t…
Exploitation of Transparent Conductive Oxides in the Implementation of a Window-Integrated Wireless Sensor Node
Kaarle Jaakkola, Kirsi Tappura
Exploitation of transparent conductive oxides (TCO) to implement an energy-autonomous sensor node for a wireless sensor network (WSN) is studied and a practical solution presented.…
A numerical study on the design trade-offs of a thin-film thermoelectric generator for large-area applications
Kirsi Tappura
Thin-film thermoelectric generators with a novel folding scheme are proposed for large-area, low energy-density applications. Both the electrical current and heat transfer are in t…
