The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) in bismuth antimony telluride (BiSbTe) bulk alloys has remained around 1 for more than 50 years. We show that a peak ZT 1.4 at 100 degrees C can be achieved p-type nanocrystalline BiSbTe alloy. These materials were made by hot pressing nanopowders ball-milled from crystalline ingots under inert conditions. Electrical transport measurements, coupled with microstructure studies and modeling, the improvement is result low thermal...
In this paper we present a detailed theory of electron and thermoelectric transport perpendicular to heterostructure superlattices. This nonlinear regime above barriers is also called thermionic emission. We show that metal-based superlattices with tall can achieve large effective figure merit (ZT > 5 at room temperature). A key parameter achieving high performance the nonconservation lateral momentum during emission process. Conservation consequence translational symmetry in plane...

In this paper, we explore electron filtering as a technique to increase the Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric power factor of heterostructured materials over that bulk. We present theoretical model in which can be increased an ${\mathrm{In}}_{0.53}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.47}\mathrm{As}$-based composite material. Experimental measurements cross-plane are presented confirm importance decouple electrical conductivity factor.

Bone healing can be significantly expedited by applying electrical stimuli in the injured region. Therefore, a three-dimensional (3D) ceramic conductive tissue engineering scaffold for large bone defects that locally deliver is highly desired. In present study, 3D scaffolds were prepared employing biocompatible polymer, ie, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), optimized nanocomposite of gelatin and bioactive glass. For vitro analysis, adult human...

A detailed theory of nonisothermal electron transport perpendicular to multilayer superlattice structures is presented. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and the cooling power density are calculated using Fermi–Dirac statistics, density-of-states for a finite quantum well mechanical reflection coefficient. resulting equations valid in wide range temperatures electric fields. It shown that conservation lateral momentum plays an important role device characteristics. If hot electrons...
