The interface energy induced superlattice structure for enhanced thermoelectric properties
Project Description:
Through wet chemistry method, a supperlattice nanowire was successfully synthesized and recorded an enhanced thermoelectric properties. To clarify the formation mechanism of this intriguing structure, we plan to employ ab-inito method to investigate the interface energy between the two materials.
Project Duration:
06/2016 to 07/2017
Project Significance:
This project aims to investigate the interface energy between two materials to explain the formation mechanism of supperlattice structure for enhanced thermoelectric properties. This would provide a guidance to facilitate the finding of other systems.
