  • Fracture toughness of void-site-filled skutterudites

    Creator:
    Eilertsen, James S.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric materials are playing an increasingly significant role in the global effort to develop sustainable energy technologies. Consequently, the demand for materials with greater thermoelectric efficiency has stimulated the development of state-of-the-art interstitially doped skutterudite-based materials. However, since intermetallics are often embrittled by interstitial substitution, optimal skutterudite-based device design, manufacture,...

  • The effects of nanoparticle addition on the processing, structure and properties of SiC and AlN

    Creator:
    Onbattuvelli, Valmikanathan P.
    Abstract:
    Silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum nitride (AlN) exhibit a combination of thermal and mechanical properties that are relevant to applications in electronics, aerospace, defense and automotive industries. However, the successful translation of these properties into final applications lies in the net-shaping of these ceramics into fully dense microstructures. Increasing the...
