Local Structure of TiNiSn-based thermoelectrics
We propose to study the local structure in two series of promising thermoelectric materials: Ti1-xZrxNiSn and TiNi1+ySn. Diffraction experiments on Ti1-xZrxNiSn reveal multiple... -
Rattling modes in new thermoelectrics
NaxCoO2 has an exceptional combination of thermoelectric properties, including low thermal conductivity, and it is currently under consideration for use in power recovery and as... -
Modifications to the phonon spectrum of nanocomposite thermoelectrics
Here we propose to use the superior energy resolution of OSIRIS to measure the phonon desnity of states (PDOS) of both nanocomposite and bulk thermoelectric alloys of Si1-xGex....
