Funded Activity Summary

Development of high-performance Si/Ge superlattice thermoelectric materials with optimization of lattice periodic thickness. Thermoelectric generation systems convert waste heat into electrical energy irrespective of source size and without the use of moving parts or the production of environmentally deleterious wastes. This would conserve fuel and energy, and reduce environmental emissions. Success of this program will facilitate the development of thermoelectric materials, which has enormous international market, in Australia. It will open up an avenue for searching out potential thermoelectric materials for practical applications. This program will also provide an education platform to intensively train high quality postgraduates at the international level.
