u3529450 - Posted on 19 October 2016

Project Description: 

Use of computational methods to attain the desired doping/alloying with SnSe, and then calculate the general trend in power-factor and the overall ZT/efficency at different temperatures.
The above aims have been attained by using HKU's high performance computing facilities allowing the use of VASP software.
