Phonon confinement effects in Si-nanowires
Nanowires can be used for devices based on thermoelectrics and to convert the heat into electrical current. The material design challenge here is to create the materials where... -
Investigation of the intermolecular dynamics of polycrystalline C60
Recent work by the proposers on modelling the coherent inelastic neutron scattering spectrum for polycrystalline samples of the two phases of this material has shown that all of... -
Study of the phonon confinement in novel thermoelectric materials
The material design challenge in thermoelectric materials is to find the materials where the conduction of heat is low and the electrical conductivity is high. It was recently...
