Materials of β-Cu2−xSe were fabricated by using hydrothermal synthesis followed by evacuating-and-encapsulating sintering. These materials were then characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron micrograph, electronic and thermal transport. Thermal conductivity measurements were carried out utilizing transient plane source (TPS) ...
The effects of the substitution of Ca with Gd in the Ca1-xGdxMnO3-delta system were investigated. It was determined that the partial substitution of Gd resulted in decreased resistivity and increased thermal conductivity. The change in these properties was attributed to electronic effects....
This article investigates the effect of aluminum doping on the thermal conductivity and other thermoelectric properties of nanostructured Zn1•XAlXTe (0 ≤ X ≤ 0.15) for a temperature range of 300 K – 600 K. The thermal conductivity was measured using the transient plane source (TPS) technique by a thermal constants analyzer. ...
CaMnO3 has been proposed for use in thermoelectric materials, due to its favourable thermoelectric properties. In this article, the effect of doping using bismuth and silicon to replace calcium and manganese respectively has been studied. Important properties of the doped compounds measured include thermopower, thermal ...
