Thermoelectric Materials: Physical Metallurgy Inspired Nano‐Features for Enhancement of Thermoelectric Conversion Efficiency (Adv. Theory Simul. 9/2018)
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: In article number 1800072, Yaron Amouyal and co-workers review approaches to enhance thermoelectric power generation efficiency adapted from physical metallurgy. Second-phase precipitates dispersed in a thermoelectric matrix affect both thermal and electronic transport. Ab-initio calculations provide information on structural, vibrational, and electronic behavior of individual phases. In turn, computational thermodynamics yield matrix/precipitate phase equilibria with major implications for materials design.
