Si/SiGe thermoelectric generator

This PhD thesis researches thermoelectric generator (TEG) which transfers wasted heat into electricity by thermoelectric materials. As a parameter used to characterize thermoelectric materials, figure-of-merit (ZT) models of Si bulk, Si/Si_(1-x) Ge_x bulk and Si bulk/nanowires (NWs) are built via bu...
