Thermoelectric Materials and Devices

Catalog description

Credit 1.5. 1.5 Lecture Hour. Methods useful for the synthesis of both bulk crystals and nanomaterials (nanoparticles and nanowires); focus on the underlying thermodynamics and kinetic principles involved in the synthesis of these materials; pathways useful for the integration of nanomaterials into functional thermoelectric devices, methods used for ascertaining the thermoelectric performance of materials and devices. Prerequisites: Graduate classification; ENGY majors.
