The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part
because of its large exciton binding energy (60 meV) which could lead to lasing action …

A temperature gradient across a solid (except superconducting materials) generates an
electrical voltage between the hot and cold ends. This phenomenon, discovered in 1821 …

Ten years ago, DM Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to
wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical …

A marked improvement in the thermoelectric performance of dense ZnO ceramics is
achieved by employing a third element as a co-dopant with Al. Dual doping of ZnO with Al …

Abstract Wurtzite Zinc-Oxide (w-ZnO) is a wide bandgap semiconductor that holds promise
in power electronics applications, where heat dissipation is of critical importance. However …

We report an investigation of the temperature-and doping-dependent thermoelectric
behavior of n-type ZnO. The results are based on a combination of experimental data from …

Recent demand for thermoelectric materials for power harvesting from automobile and
industrial waste heat requires oxide materials because of their potential advantages over …

An oxide thermoelectric device was fabricated using Gd-doped Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 p-type legs
and La-doped CaMnO 3 n-type legs on a fin. The power factors of p legs and n legs were …

Different families of thermoelectric materials have been investigated since the discovery of
thermoelectric effects in the mid-19th century, materials mostly belonging to the family of …

Thermoelectric and electrical properties of transparent p-type CuAlO2 thin films deposited by
dc-sputtering method have been studied in detail. Postdeposition annealing in excess …
