Multi-phase Nanocrystalline Thermoelectric Materials
dvashae
In a multi component nanocrystalline material, crystallites and interfacial nanostructures form a disordered morphology. In such a disordered nanostructured material, the energy disruption for both electrons and phonons can happen in a time scale that is smaller or comparable to the energy relaxation time. Therefore, the charge and heat carriers can maintain an energetically non-equilibrium […]
