  • New multi-functional chalcogenides for photovoltaic and thermoelectric materials

    Creator:
    Heo, Jaeseok
    Abstract:
    The subject of this PhD thesis is part of a research domain of great present interest in new semiconductor materials for photovoltaic and thermoelectric applications. This domain contains the elaboration and the study of both Cu-based chalcogenides bulk and thin-film samples, driven by materials design principles. One of the most...

  • Novel nanocomposite synthesis for high-performance thermoelectrics

    Creator:
    Eilertsen, James S.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric materials are playing a larger role in the global effort to develop diverse, efficient, and sustainable energy technologies: primarily through power-generating thermoelectric modules. The principal components of thermoelectric modules are solid-state thermoelectric materials – typically heavily doped semiconductors – that convert heat directly into electricity. However, this conversion efficiency...

  • Structure-property relationships in oxides containing select platinum group metals

    Creator:
    Gatimu, Alvin J.
    Abstract:
    Oxide materials exhibit a wide variety of structures and properties. In particular, transition metal oxides tend to be highly stable while exhibiting a wide range of properties that can be used for numerous applications. This work focuses on investigating how the structures’ of 4d and 5d transition metal oxides influences...
