Thermoelectric Properties of Transition-Metal Oxide Thin Films and Superlattices (G08)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Project G8 uses thin-film technology and characterization and theory-guided exploration based on density functional theory and Boltzmann transport calculations to understand and optimize the thermoelectric performance of selected transition metal oxide thin films and superlattices. In particular, we will explore the influence of epitaxial strain and oxygen incorporation on the thermopower of model compounds. Further research will focus on the effect electrostatic doping, confinement and the crystallographic orientation.
