Join us at the International Thermal Conductivity Conference (ITCC) and the International Thermal Expansion Symposium (ITES).
Zn-Se alloys have potential applications in blue light emitting diodes and blue diode lasers, as well as in white LEDs and infrared lenses. Se-In alloys have potential applications in solar cells due to their energy band gap, which is close to the optimum range for solar energy conversion. The thermo-physical properties of these two types of alloys have been investigated to further their applicability in industrial applications. The thermal conductivity, ...
This study measures the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of selenium-tellurium-tin alloys at room temperature. Selenium-tin alloys have high photosensitivity, higher crystallization temperature and smaller aging effects then just selenium. However, without an extra element to act as a chemical modifier limited reversibility and low glass transmission are issues. The researchers hope that the addition of tin will produce an improved alloy. Investigations showed that there were structural ...
Molten selenium, silver, cadmium, and tin were used to prepare a-Se, and a-Se98M2 (M = Ag, Cd, and Sn) alloys in order to determine the thermo-physical properties of these materials using the transient plane source technique. In order for these alloys to be used in industrial applications such as phase change optical storage, photo electrochemical solar cells, and holographic recording systems, among others, their thermal transport properties needed to be ...
