The proposed research requests funds to investigate methods for improving the performance of thermoelectric refrigeration elements by reducing the thermal conductivity of bismuth telluride based alloys. The research proposes to significantly reduce the thermal conductivity of bismuth-telluride elements through enhanced powder processing techniques. The proposal was submitted as a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) as a result of conservations between the PI and the Thermal Transport and Thermal Processing Program Director. The qualifications of the PI and his ability to perform fundamental work in this area are excellent. The relevance of the proposal, the fact that subject area is one of increasing importance, and the uncertainty of the outcome make this particular proposal an excellent candidate for the SGER program.

拟议的研究需要资金来研究通过降低碲化铋基合金的热导率来改善热电制冷元件性能的方法。 该研究建议通过增强粉末加工技术来显著降低碲化铋元素的导热性。 该提案是作为探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款提交的，这是PI与热传输和热处理项目主任之间的保守的结果。 PI的资格和他在这一领域开展基础工作的能力非常出色。 该提案的相关性，主题领域越来越重要的事实，以及结果的不确定性，使该提案成为SGER计划的绝佳候选人。
