Experimental Investigation of Thermal Transport and Thermoelectric Performance of Si-Modified Bi₂Te₃ Thin Films
Abstract: Engineering silicon secondary phases provides an effective route to tailor charge and thermal transport in Bi2Te3-based thermoelectric thin films. In this work, Bi 2 Te 3 :Si nanocomposite thin films with Si content of 0, 2.3, 4.5 and 8.2% were prepared by RF co- sputtering and the effect of Si addition on the structural, microstructural, electrical, thermoelectric and thermal transport properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction confirmed the retention of the …

Studies on Electrical and Thermal Transport of InN based on Two Layer Model
Abstract: InN, a material of huge potential in device applications, is grown on sapphire substrate. But due to the high lattice mismatch between the sapphire and InN, the large number of dislocations develops near the interface between the two materials. However, the density of threading dislocation falls sharply in the bulk layer. The charge density has also similar variation. Therefore, the bulk InN crystal may be treated to be consisting of …

Heat Transfer Performance of ZnO- Ethylene Glycol- Water Nanofluid Using Thermal Lens Technique
Abstract: Nanofluids are engineered fluids used in advanced electronic systems for thermal management. Fluids with dispersed nanoparticles have exhibited remarkable thermal properties. Ethylene glycol (EG) and water mixtures are widely used in many industrial areas. This study investigates the synthesis and heat transfer performance of ZnO-EG, ZnO-water, and ZnO-EG-water nanofluids using a dual-beam thermal lens technique. ZnO is a widely used inorganic, UV-absorbing, multifunctional semiconducting material with applications in various fields …
