TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of direct electron-phonon coupling across the metal-dielectric interface was investigated by employing transient thermo-reflectance (TTR) measurements on Au-Si samples.

TL;DR: The structure, composition, and morphology of these Bi2Te3 films were characterized and the thermoelectric figure of merit, both parallel and perpendicular to the substrate surface, were determined by measuring the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity in each direction.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the addition of a surfactant, sodium lignosulfonate (SLS), on the thermoelectric properties of tellurium films prepared by electrochemical deposition is studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed functional nTIMs based on short, verticallyaligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on both sides of a thin interposer foil and interfaced with substrate materials via metallic bonding.

TL;DR: The compositional effects in ZrB2-SiC-ZrC ultra high temperature composites with four different compositions were investigated via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) at a maximum temperature of 1800°C as discussed by the authors.
