The liquid + Cu 6Sn 5 area in the Sn-rich corner needs to be larger compared to the currently available Cu-Ni-Sn ternary phase diagram, and the
maximum simultaneous soluble point of Ni and Cu in Sn needs also to be moved to the Ni-Sn side (e.g., Sn-0.6Cu-0.3Ni). 相似文献

NaCo 2O 4 has one of the highest figures of merit among all ceramic thermoelectric materials. Because of its large thermopower and
low resistivity, the ceramic oxide NaCo 2O 4 is a promising candidate for potential thermoelectric applications. NaCo 2O 4 is, moreover, a ceramic compound with high decomposition temperature and chemical stability in air and it does not contain
any toxic elements. Like all 3-d transition ions, Co ions have multiple spin and oxidation states. In this investigation,
thermopower and electrical conductivity of NaCo 2O 4 as a function of substitution of Co by Fe ions were measured. Fe substitution for Co causes resistivity to increase, whereas
the Seebeck coefficient remained nearly invariant, especially above 330 K.

We report on temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient of two polycrystalline Br-containing
Sn-clathrate compounds with the type I crystal structure. Interstitial Br atoms reside inside the polyhedral cavities formed
by the framework, resulting in hole conduction. The framework bonding directly influences the transport properties of these
two compositions. The transport properties of these two clathrates are compared with those of other Sn-clathrates. We also
discuss our results in terms of the potential for thermoelectric applications. 相似文献

Mo 3Sb 7, crystallizing in the Ir 3Ge 7 type structure, has poor thermoelectric (TE) properties due to its metallic behavior. However, by a partial Sb-Te exchange,
it becomes semiconducting without noticeable structure changes and so achieves a significant enhancement in the thermopower
with the composition of Mo 3Sb 5Te 2. Meanwhile, large cubic voids in the Mo 3Sb 5Te 2 crystal structure provide the possibility of filling the voids with small cations to decrease the thermal conductivity by
the so-called rattling effect. As part of the effort to verify this idea, we report herein the growth as well as measurements
of the thermal and electrical transport properties of Mo 3Sb 5.4Te 1.6 and Ni 0.06Mo 3Sb 5.4Te 1.6. 相似文献

Liquid-phase epitaxy is used to fabricate Pb 0.8Sn 0.2Te films, undoped or doped with indium to different levels. The depth profiles of the carrier density and dopant concentration
in the films are measured and examined. A uniform dopant concentration to a depth of 15 μm is obtained. Electrical-conduction
inversion is observed at a temperature of 77.3 K as the doping level is varied. The liquid-phase epitaxial method is shown
to be a more suitable technology for the reproducible manufacture of epitaxial films with a given carrier density, such as
the ones used in terahertz detectors. 相似文献

A comparative analysis of dielectric polarization processes in undoped and Bi-doped layers of modified As 2Se 3 has been performed. It is established that both the similarity and difference in polarization phenomena are due to specific
features of the internal structure of studied materials. The mechanism of the observed effects is discussed. 相似文献

Zintl phases are currently receiving great attention for their thermoelectric potential typified by the discovery of a high
ZT value in Yb 14MnSb 11-based compounds. Herein, we report on the crystallographic characterization via neutron and x-ray diffraction experiments,
and on the thermoelectric properties measured in the 300 K to 1000 K temperature range, of Mo 3Sb 7 and its isostructural compounds Mo 3−x

Sb 7. Even though Mo 3Sb 7 displays rather high ZT values given its metallic character, the partial substitution of Mo by Ru substantially improves its thermoelectric properties,
resulting in a ZT value of ∼0.45 at 1000 K for x = 0.8. 相似文献

In this work, Bi 2Te 3-Sb 2Te 3 superlattices were prepared by the nanoalloying approach. Very thin layers of Bi, Sb, and Te were deposited on cold substrates,
rebuilding the crystal structure of V 2VI 3 compounds. Nanoalloyed super- lattices consisting of alternating Bi 2Te 3 and Sb 2Te 3 layers were grown with a thickness of 9 nm for the individual layers. The as-grown layers were annealed under different conditions
to optimize the thermoelectric parameters. The obtained layers were investigated in their as-grown and annealed states using
x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, transmission electron
microscopy (TEM), and electrical measurements. A lower limit of the elemental layer thickness was found to have c-orientation. Pure nanoalloyed Sb 2Te 3 layers were p-type as expected; however, it was impossible to synthesize p-type Bi 2Te 3 layers. Hence the Bi 2Te 3-Sb 2Te 3 superlattices consisting of alternating n- and p-type layers showed poor thermoelectric properties. 相似文献

The results of studying the galvanomagnetic and thermoelectric properties of thin block Bi 92Sb 8 and Bi 85Sb 15 films on mica and polyimide substrates are presented. The method used for measuring the thermoelectric power allowed us to study the temperature dependence the thermoelectric power, without introducing additional deformations into the substrate–film system. A significant difference in the temperature dependences of the galvanomagnetic and thermoelectric properties of films on mica and polyimide is found. The free charge-carrier concentrations and mobilities in the films on mica and polyimide and levels of the chemical potential for electrons and holes are calculated within the two-band approximation. The difference in the charge-carrier parameters for films on mica and polyimide is associated with strains in the film–substrate system. 相似文献

The usefulness of half-Heusler (HH) alloys as thermoelectrics has been mainly limited by their relatively large thermal conductivity,
which is a key issue despite their high thermoelectric power factors. In this regard, Bi-containing half-Heusler alloys are
particularly appealing, because they are, potentially, of low thermal conductivity. One such a material is ZrCoBi. We prepared
pure and Ni-doped ZrCoBi by a solid-state reaction. To evaluate thermoelectric potential we measured electrical resistivity
( ρ = 1/ σ) and thermopower ( σ) up to 1000 K and thermal conductivity ( κ) up to 300 K. Our measurements indicate that for these alloys resistivity of approximately a few mΩ cm and thermopower larger
than a hundred μV K −1 are possible. Low κ values are also possible. On the basis of these data we conclude that this system has a potential to be optimized further,
despite the low power factors ( α

In this study, we investigated the chemical composition and electronic structure of the delafossite-type oxides CuFeO 2 (CFO) and CuFe 0.98Ni 0.02O 2 (CFNO). The hole carrier density in the Cu and FeO 2 layers of CFNO was found to be different from that of CFO, leading to the enhancement of electrical conductivity by Ni substitution.
In addition, thermoelectric properties were found to be affected by the surface treatment, possibly due to some surface contamination.
An etched CFNO (E-CFNO) exhibited a higher electrical conductivity and a higher Seebeck coefficient relative to the polished
CFNO (P-CFNO). The thermal conductivity did not change much between E-CFNO and P-CFNO. As a result, the thermoelectric performance
of E-CFNO was higher than that of P-CFNO. This result indicates that etching is needed when we use CFNO as a p-leg in thermoelectric generators. 相似文献

A detailed analysis of the optical properties of filled tetrahedral semiconductors Li 3AlN 2 and Li 3GaN 2 has been performed, using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory.
The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function ε( ω), the optical absorption coefficient I( ω), the reflectivity R( ω), and the electron energy loss function are calculated within the random phase approximation. The interband transitions responsible
for the structures in the spectra are specified. Looking at optical matrix element, we note that the major peaks are dominated
by transition from metal s, N 2 p states to N 2 p, Ga 3 d states. The theoretical calculated optical properties and electron energy loss spectrum yield a static dielectric constant
of 5.34 and a plasmon energy of 19.47 eV for Li 3GaN 2. In the Li 3AlN 2 compound, the static dielectric constant decreases to 4.75 and yields a plasmon energy of 18.5 eV. The effect of spin–orbit
coupling on the optical properties is also investigated and found to be quite small, especially in the low-energy region.
In order to check the reliability of our calculations, analogous results obtained for Be 3N 2 in the same structure [space group Ia3(206)] are included in this work. 相似文献

Wireless sensor networks (WSN's) are preferred for industrial applications due to progressive increase of sensor electronics. One such application is deployment of WSN's in smart grids. Smart Grid integrates information and communication techniques with electricity network. Smart grids utilize sophisticated control and monitoring devices for improving the efficiency of the grid. For energy efficient, low cost monitoring and control in smart grid WSN's is treated as a promising technology. Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is the key technology in the distribution networks of Smart Grid. The AMI is composed of various sensors for metering purpose. The meter data is also useful for the distribution operators to manage the demand response. The network involves smart meters, smart electric gas and water meters along with digital network management appliances for optimizing the electric network with real time data management. The smart sensors are limited in terms of battery, operational power and memory. These sensors communicate with the base station in restricted range. The communication between smart grid nodes and base station (sink) is multi-hop in nature. The communication takes place within limited range of communication so the security concerns that are involved in the network are to be handled by the routing protocols. So as to make the bidirectional communication efficient between the smart sensors and utility an effective routing scheme is required for these energy limited devices to handle the heavy network traffic in smart grids. Here energy efficient routing for WSN's in NAN networks to attain load balancing is proposed through density based Fuzzy C means clustering (DFCM). The obtained simulation results show that DFCM can provide a satisfactory performance for enhancing the network life span. 相似文献

Filled skutterudite thermoelectric (TE) materials have been extensively studied to search for better TE materials in the past
decade. However, there is no detailed investigation about the thermal stability of filled skutterudite TE materials. The evolution
of microstructure and TE properties of nanostructured skutterudite materials fabricated with Ba 0.3In 0.2Co 3.95Ni 0.05Sb 12/SiO 2 core–shell composite particles with 3 nm thickness shell was investigated during periodic thermal cycling from room temperature
to 723 K in this work. Scanning electronic microscopy and electron probe microscopy analysis were used to investigate the
microstructure and chemical composition of the nanostructured skutterudite materials. TE properties of the nanostructured
skutterudite materials were measured after every 200 cycles of quenching in the temperature range from 300 K to 800 K. The
results show that the microstructure and composition of Ba 0.3In 0.2Co 3.95Ni 0.05Sb 12/SiO 2 nanostructured skutterudite materials were more stable than those of single-phase Ba 0.3In 0.2Co 3.95Ni 0.05Sb 12 bulk materials. The evolution of TE properties indicates that the electrical and thermal conductivity decrease along with
an increase in the Seebeck coefficient with increasing quenching up to 2000 cycles. As a result, the dimensionless TE figure
of merit ( ZT) of the nanostructured skutterudite materials remains almost constant. It can be concluded that these nanostructured skutterudite
materials have good thermal stability and are suitable for use in solar power generation systems. 相似文献

A phase-change memory device that utilizes an antimony (Sb)-excess Ge 15Sb 47Te 38 chalcogenide thin film was fabricated and its electrical properties were measured and compared with a similar device that
uses Ge 22Sb 22Te 56. The resulting electrical characteristics exhibited I
reset values of 14 mA for Ge 22Sb 22Te 56 and 10.6 mA for Ge 15Sb 47Te 38. Also, the set operation time ( t
set) for the device using Ge 15Sb 47Te 38 films was 140 ns, which was more than twice as fast as the Ge 22Sb 22Te 56 device. The relationship between the microstructure and the improved electrical performance of the device was examined by
means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). 相似文献

High-temperature capacitors were prepared by the conventional oxide method based on Bi 0.5Na 0.5TiO 3-BaTiO 3-CaTiO 3 (BNT-BT-CT) lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. BNT-BT is one of the promising candidates as a high-temperature relaxor, and
has a high Curie temperature and broadened dielectric constant. The addition of CT increases the dielectric constant at lower
temperatures and decreases the dielectric constant at higher temperatures, so that the variation of capacitance is decreased.
The effect of BT on the temperature characteristic of dielectric constant is contrary to that of CT. A single-phase rhombohedral
perovskite and square grains were obtained in this study. With the proper amount of BT and CT additions, the high-temperature
specification can be met: from −55°C to 200°C, the variation of capacitance is within ±15% of room-temperature capacitance. 相似文献

A one-dimensional waveguide photonic structure—specifically, a photonic crystal with a controllable frequency characteristic—is
designed. The central frequency of the spectral window of the photonic crystal can be tuned by choosing the parameters of
disturbance of periodicity in the photonic crystal, whereas the transmission coefficient at a particular frequency can be
controlled by varying the voltage at a p- i- n diode. It is shown that the possibility exists of using the waveguide photonic crystal to design a microwave device operating
in the 3-cm-wavelength region, with a transmission band of 70 MHz at a level 3 dB and the transmission coefficient controllable
in the range from −1.5 to −25 dB under variations in the forward voltage bias at the p- i- n diode from zero to 700 mV. 相似文献

The effects of several ex vacuo methods used in the surface preparation of Cd 1−x
Zn
x
Te (CZT) have been studied using noncontact atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and scanning tunneling
spectroscopy. Preparation techniques include mechanical lapping, hydroplane bromine-methanol polishing, and in vacuo annealing. The morphology, electrical homogeneity, and local density of states (LDOS) have been studied for each preparation
method. Impurities and oxides quickly form on the surface after each preparation method. Annealing in ultrahigh vacuum causes
the surface electronic structure to become inhomogeneous whilst the LDOS suggests a compositional change from an oxide surface
to p-type CZT. 相似文献

We report the thermoelectric properties of spark plasma-sintered In 4Se 3-In 4Te 3 materials. For comparison, pure In 4Se 3 and In 4Se 3 (80 wt.%)/In 4Te 3 (20 wt.%) mixture samples were prepared. In 4Se 3 and In 4Te 3 powders were synthesized by a conventional melting process in evacuated quartz ampoules, and a spark plasma method was used
for the sintering of the pure In 4Se 3 and mixture samples. Thermoelectric and structural characterizations were carried out, and the mixing effect of In 4Se 3 and In 4Te 3 on the thermoelectric properties was investigated. 相似文献
