Publisher: MRS
404 pages
From the publisher:
"The newest volume in a continuing series from the Materials
Research Society (MRS), Thermoelectric Materials 2000-The Next
Generation Materials for Small-Scale Refrigeration and Power Generation
Applications documents symposium reports from the 2000 MRS Spring
Meeting in San Francisco, CA, and contains 55 papers, 404 pages."
"Over the past thirty years, alloys based on the Bi2Te3 compounds
(refrigeration) and Si1-xGex compounds (power generation) have been
extensively studied and optimized for their use as thermoelectric
materials. More specifically, applications range from small beverage
coolers to power generation for deep-space probes such as those used in
the Voyager and Cassini missions. However, despite extensive
investigation of these traditional thermoelectric materials, there is
still substantial room for improvement and entirely new classes of
compounds will have to be investigated. This volume, the fourth in a
series from MRS, brings together experts in the field not to discuss
further optimization of established materials, but instead, to discuss
the development of the next generation of materials for small-scale
refrigeration and power generation applications. Topics include:
skutterudites; superlattice; new materials; quantum wires and dots;
half-Heusler alloys and quasicrystals; TE theory; thermionics; devices,
measurements and applications; clathrates; and thin films TE."
