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…
Effectiveness of nanoinclusions for reducing bipolar effects in thermoelectric materials
Samuel Foster, Neophytos Neophytou
Bipolar carrier transport is often a limiting factor in the thermoelectric efficiency of narrow bandgap materials (such as Bi2Te3 and PbTe) at high temperatures due to the introduc…
Quantum transport simulations for the thermoelectric power factor in two dimensional nanocomposites
Samuel Foster, Mischa Thesberg, Neophytos Neophytou
Some of the most promising candidates for next generation thermoelectrics are nanocomposites due to their low thermal conductivities that result from phonon scattering on the bound…
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…
Doping optimization for the power factor of bipolar thermoelectric materials
Samuel Foster, Neophytos Neophytou
Bipolar carrier transport is often a limiting factor in the thermoelectric efficiency of narrow bandgap materials at high temperatures due to the reduction in the Seebeck coefficie…
