Study of Thermoelectric Properties of Nanostructured P-Type Si-Ge, Bi-Te, Bi-Sb, and Half-Heusler Bulk Materials

Thesis advisor: Zhifeng Ren === Silicon germanium alloys (SiGe) have long been used in thermoelectric modules for deep-space missions to convert radio-isotope heat into electricity. They also hold promise in terrestrial applications such as waste heat recovery. The performance of these materials dep...
