2 Plan 1 Thermoelectric Phenomena and Conversion Efficiency 2 Thermoelectric Transport Theory I : Electrical Properties 3 Thermoelectric Transport Theory II : Thermal Properties 4 Measurement of Thermoelectric Properties 5 Materials Preparation : Bulk and Film 6 Thermoelectric System : Current and Future of Modules 7 Applications : Power Generation and Heat Cooling 8 Mid-term Exam 9 Thermoelectric Materials : State-of-the-art 10 Thermoelectric Materials : Intermetallics 11 Thermoelectric Materials : Oxides 12 Thermoelectric Materials : Phonon Glass and Electron Crystal (PGEC) Materials 13 Theory and Modeling in Nanostructured Thermoelectrics 14 High efficiency in Low Dimensional Materials 15 Hybrid Energy Conversion Systems of Thermoelectrics 16 Final Exam

3 Thermoelectric Energy Conversion Efficiency Dimensionless Figure of Merit, ZT ZT 2 T or S : Seebeck Coefficient (Thermoelectric Power) : Electrical Resistivity : Thermal Conductivity 2 / : Power Factor lat el lat : Lattice Thermal Conductivity el : Electronic Thermal Conductivity

4 Measurement : Quiz Prof. M at a conference talked a bulk material with ZT over 2.5 was obtained at 1000 K. Mainly due to the high Seebeck coefficient Quasi 4-point probe Specimen Furnace Tc = 300K I Th = 1000K Why not at 350K??? If a material with 100 V/K : Acceptable range of Temperature difference??? V

5 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient 1. Integral method 2. Differential method 1. Integral method : Measurement of V generated by two thermocouples consisting of a sample wire and a reference material wire. Known Seebeck coefficient of a third wire. But, Who makes wire??? Nobody use now.

6 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient 2. Differential method : When the net current in the sample is ZERO, T and V are measured. Due to the electrical field in the sample is due to the E= T. The sample should be homogeneous!!!

7 Measurement : Electrical Conductivity V = I R Contact resistance should be small To Minimize the Joule heating on the resistivity measurement, the current density should be lower. The electromagnetic noise gives a random contribution and can be reduced -By appropriate shielding of the circuit, -By using low-noise measuring equipment -By averaging the measured values DC : Direct Current AC : Alternating Current Spurious voltage originating from thermoelectric effect can be eliminated -By additional measurement with the current set to zero -With different current value -By reversing the current flow direction

8 Measurement : Electrical Conductivity 2-point probe 4-point probe Applying Voltage, Measuring Current Thickness, t << distance of electrode, s Simple Not correct, unreliable Bulk

9 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient and Electrical conductivity

10 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient and Electrical conductivity Apparatus for Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity at 100K to 1300K

11 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient in Magnetic Field 1: sample, 2:sample pressing and sample-supporting plates, 3: AlN plates, 4: Cu plate, 5: heater, 6: heatsink (Cu-Be alloy), 7: temperature sensor, 8: alumina tube holding thermocouple, 9: spring (Cu-Be alloy)

12 Measurement : Seebeck Coefficient and Electrical conductivity Apparatus for Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity at 300K to 2000K 1: heatsink, 2: Mo tubing, 3: sample, 4, 5: sample supports, 6: Mo stopper, 7: alumina insulating ring, 8: Mo pressing rod, 9 stainless pressing rod, 10: alumina tube

13 Measurement : Mistakes or Ignorance Prof. M at a conference talked a bulk material with ZT over 2.5 was obtained at 1000 K. Mainly due to the high Seebeck coefficient Quasi 4-point probe Specimen Furnace Tc = 300K I Th = 1000K Why not at 350K??? If a material with 100 V/K : Acceptable range of Temperature difference??? V

14 Thermal Conductivity : Steady-State Technique Q T A L T 0 Q T : heating power through sample L 0 : length between thermocouple (0.004 in) (Heater, I 2 R) (0.001 in) (Conducting Epoxy) Adiabatic Condition!!! At low Temp, Cernox (resistance temperature sensors) Substantial Errors : Radiation loss or gain, Convection, Conduction through lead wires

15 Thermal Conductivity : Steady-State Technique at low Temp. PPMS (Quantum Design Inc.)

16 Thermal Conductivity : Laser Flash method, = C p One surface of a disc sample is irradiated by a short pulse of heat from a laser times being 1 msec. The resultant temperature rise of the opposite surface is recorded, from which the thermal diffusivity is computed from temperature rise vs. time data. Maximum temperature rise of rear surface T m Q CL is the density of specimen with dimension of g/cm 3. C is the specific heat with dimension of J/gK.

17 Thermal Conductivity : Laser Flash a L t 2 1/ 2 Only Bulk Sample available Impossible for Low temperature measurement Steady state

18 Thermal Conductivity : in-plain of thin film Anisotropy Problem : Out-plain of thin film (Direction to thickness)???

19 Thermal Conductivity : 2 (3 ) method for thin film Thin metal strip evaporated on the sample acts as heat source and a thermometer The heater is driven with AC current at frequency ω, which causes heat source to oscillate at frequency 2ω Thermal conductivity is evaluated along the thickness direction T P C 2 lk ln Penetration depth : Thermal diffusivity ( 2 1/ 2 ) d Films are neglected ( 2 1/ 2 ) d Confined to the films

20 Thermal Conductivity : 2 (3 ) method for thin film We will have in 3 months.
