Phonon Drag Effect in Nanocomposite FeSb2

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature dependence of thermoelectric transport properties of four FeSb2 nanocomposite samples with different grain sizes was studied and the results indicated the presence of substantial phonon drag effects in this system contributing to a large Seebeck coefficient at low temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermoelectric properties of n-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 with addition of nano-ZnO:Al particles

TL;DR: In this paper, nano-al-doped ZnO (AZO) particles were added into n-type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 alloys by ball milling and hot pressing method, and the effects of the addition of AZO nanoparticles on the microstructure and thermoelectric transport properties were discussed.
Book ChapterDOI

Chemical Vapor Deposition of Carbon Nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce various chemical vapor deposition methods, including thermal chemical vaporization and plasma-enhanced chemical vaporisation, as well as the mechanism of growth and alignment of carbon nanotubes.

Effect of filler mass and binding on thermal conductivity of fully filled skutterudites

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal conductivity of cagelike structures and their crystal parameters were investigated using a two-dimensional toy model consisting of host atoms on a rectangular lattice with fillers at the center of each rectangle.
