      Design, assembly and characterization of silicide-based thermoelectric modules 

      Skomedal, G.; Holmgren, L.; Middleton, H.; Eremin, I. S.; Isachenko, G. N.; Jaegle, M.; Tarantik, K.; Vlachos, N.; Manoli, M.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Berthebaud, D.; Truong, N. Y. Dao; Gascoin, F. (2016)
      Silicides have attracted considerable attention for use in thermoelectric generators due mainly to low cost, low toxicity and light weight, in contrast to conventional materials such as bismuth and lead telluride. Most ...

      Effect of antimony-doping and germanium on the highly efficient thermoelectric Si-rich-Mg2(Si,Sn,Ge) materials 

      Vlachos, N.; Polymeris, G. S.; Manoli, M.; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Khan, A. U.; Lioutas, C. B.; Stefanaki, E. C.; Pavlidou, E.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M.; Giapintzakis, John; Kyratsi, Theodora (2017)
      Two series of materials (a) Mg2Si0.55-ySn0.4Ge0.05Sby, 0 ≤ y ≤ 0.0175 and (b) Mg2Si0.5875-xSn0.4GexSb0.0125, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 have been developed and studied in terms of structural features and thermoelectric properties/performance. ...

      The Effect of Ge on Mg2Si0.6−x Sn0.4Ge x Materials 

      Vlachos, N.; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Mihailescu, C. N.; Giapintzakis, John; Kyratsi, Theodora (2014)
      In this work, we investigate the influence of the introduction of Ge on the thermoelectric properties of Bi-doped quaternary Mg2Si0.6−x Sn0.4Ge x alloys. Mg2Si0.58−x Sn0.4Bi0.02Ge x materials were fabricated by a low ...

      High thermoelectric figure of merit of Mg2Si 0.55Sn0.4Ge0.05 materials doped with Bi and Sb 

      Khan, A. U.; Vlachos, N.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2013)
      Thermoelectric properties of new Bi- and Sb-doped Mg2Si 0.55Sn0.4Ge0.05 compounds prepared by powder methods were studied in the temperature range 300-823 K. The materials exhibited compositional inhomogeneites consisting ...

      Nanostructure and doping stimulated phase separation in high-ZT Mg2Si0.55Sn0.4Ge0.05 compounds 

      Polymeris, G. S.; Vlachos, N.; Khan, A. U.; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Lioutas, C. B.; Delimitis, A.; Pavlidou, E.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2015)
      A study was attempted on the structural properties across all relevant length-scales for Mg2(Si,Sn,Ge)-type solid solutions of the formula Mg2Si0.55- ySn0.40Ge0.05(Bi,Sb)y. The study focuses on three families of samples, ...

      Spark ignitable Ni-Al ball-milled powders for bonding applications 

      Gunduz, I. E.; Kyriakou, A.; Vlachos, N.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Doumanidis, C. C.; Son, S.; Rebholz, Claus (2014)
      Ball milling of aluminum (Al) and nickel (Ni) particles at the NiAl composition can produce reactive powders with low spark ignition thresholds similar to magnetron sputtered multilayer foils (MFs). Such powders can replace ...
