The design and fabrication of nanostructured materials to control both thermal and electrical
properties are demonstrated for high-performance thermoelectric conversion. We have …

Phonon transport in the nano-system has been studied using well-designed nanostructured
materials to observe and control the interesting phonon behaviors like ballistic phonon …

This study presents the material design of Si 1− x Ge x epitaxial films/Si for thin film
thermoelectric generators (TFTEGs) by investigating their thermoelectric properties. The …

Despite the vast knowledge accumulated on silicon, germanium, and their alloys, these
materials still demand research, eminently in view of the improvement of knowledge on …

In 2D organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite materials, layers of conducting inorganic material
are separated by insulating organic spacers whose length and composition can be tuned …

We investigated the growth and evolution of Si-based Ge quantum dots (Ge/Si QDs) under
low Ge deposition (1.2–4.4 nm thick) using magnetron sputtering. The morphology and …

The cross-plane thermal conductivities of Ge-rich Si/Ge superlattices have been measured
using both time-domain thermoreflectance and the differential 3${\rm\omega} $ method. The …

The thermal conductivity (TC) of non-periodic Si/Ge superlattice nanowire (SLNW) is
investigated by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation (NEMD). It is found that the …

We present a numerical approach to the solution of elastic phonon-interface and phonon-
nanostructure scattering problems based on a frequency-domain decomposition of the …

The thermal transport properties of crystalline nanostructures on Si were studied by ultra-fast
surface sensitive time-resolved electron diffraction. Self-organized growth of epitaxial Ge …
