Homogenous alloys on ZnO substrates: A new approach for high performance thermoelectric materials
Yining Feng, Evan Witkoske, Bahadir Kucukgok +4
High performance thermoelectric materials for wide-range temperature applications still remains a challenge. In this study, we have produced high-quality homogeneous $In_{0.32}Ga_{…
Superdiffusive heat conduction in semiconductor alloys -- II. Truncated Lévy formalism for experimental analysis
Bjorn Vermeersch, Amr M. S. Mohammed, Gilles Pernot +2
Nearly all experimental observations of quasi-ballistic heat flow are interpreted using Fourier theory with modified thermal conductivity. Detailed Boltzmann transport equation (BT…
Superdiffusive heat conduction in semiconductor alloys -- I. Theoretical foundations
Bjorn Vermeersch, Jesus Carrete, Natalio Mingo +1
Semiconductor alloys exhibit a strong dependence of effective thermal conductivity on measurement frequency. So far this quasi-ballistic behaviour has only been interpreted phenome…
Ultrafast Temperature Profile Calculation in Ic Chips
T. Kemper, Y. Zhang, Z. Bian +1
One of the crucial steps in the design of an integrated circuit is the minimization of heating and temperature non-uniformity. Current temperature calculation methods, such as fini…
Thermal Transient Characterization of Packaged Thin Film Microcoolers
K. Fukutani, R. Singh, A. Shakouri
A network identification by deconvolution (NID) method is applied to the thermal transient response of packaged and unpackaged microcoolers. A thin film resistor on top of the devi…
Monte Carlo Simulation of Electron Transport in Degenerate Semiconductors
Mona Zebarjadi, Ceyhun Bulutay, Keivan Esfarjani +1
A modified algorithm is proposed to include Pauli exclusion principle in Monte-Carlo simulations. This algorithm has significant advantages to implement in terms of simplicity, spe…
Thermoelectric transport perpendicular to thin film heterostructures using Monte Carlo technique
Mona Zebarjadi, Ali Shakouri, Keivan Esfarjani
The Monte Carlo technique is used to calculate electrical as well as thermoelectric transport properties across thin film heterostructures. We study a thin InGaAsP barrier layer sa…
Thermoelectric properties of a nanocontact
Keivan Esfarjani, Mona Zebarjadi, Ali Shakouri +1
Thermoelectric properties of a nanocontact made of two capped single wall nanotubes (SWNT) are calculated within the tight-binding approximation and Green's function method. It is…
Demonstration of electron filtering to increase the Seebeck coefficient in ErAs:InGaAs/InGaAlAs superlattices
J. M. O. Zide, D. Vashaee, G. Zeng +3
In this letter, we explore electron filtering as a technique to increase Seebeck coefficient and the thermoelectric power factor of heterostructured materials over that of the bulk…
