Design of efficient vdW thermionic heterostructures from first principles
Xiaoming Wang, Mona Zebarjadi, Keivan Esfarjani
This work is the first step towards understanding thermionic transport properties of graphene/phosphorene/graphene van der Waals heterostructures in contact with gold electrodes by…
Ab initio optimization of phonon drag effect for lower-temperature thermoelectric energy conversion
Jiawei Zhou, Bolin Liao, Bo Qiu +4
While the thermoelectric figure of merit zT above 300K has seen significant improvement recently, the progress at lower temperatures has been slow, mainly limited by the relatively…
Temperature-dependent thermal conductivity in nanoporous materials studied by the Boltzmann Transport Equation
Giuseppe Romano, Keivan Esfarjani, David A. Strubbe +2
Nanostructured materials exhibit low thermal conductivity because of the additional scattering due to phonon-boundary interactions. As these interactions are highly sensitive to th…
