Electronic Structure and Thermoelectric Properties of Pseudoquaternary Mg2Si1-x-ySnxGey-Based Materials

Kutorasinski, K.; Tobola, J.; Kaprzyk, S.; Khan, A. U.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2014)

A theoretical study is presented on complex pseudoternary Bi-doped Mg2Si1-x-ySnxGey materials, which have recently been revealed to reach high thermoelectric figures of merit (ZT) of ∼1.4. Morphological characterization ...

Indium oxide as a possible tunnel barrier in spintronic devices

Androulakis, J.; Gardelis, S.; Giapintzakis, John; Gagaoudakis, E.; Kiriakidis, G. (2005)

We report the growth of ultra-thin indium oxide layers using the dc-magnetron sputtering method. We demonstrate that good quality tunnel barriers made of indium oxide can be routinely fabricated and employed in spintronic-related ...

Light-induced mobility enhancement in delta-doped GaAs/In0.26Ga0.74As/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001)

Zervos, Matthew; Elliott, M.; Westwood, D. I. (1999)

Persistent photoconductivity in 80 angstroms strained GaAs/In0.26Ga0.74As/GaAs quantum wells was investigated by measuring the Shubnikov de Haas and Hall effects at 4.2 K. The quantum wells were grown by molecular beam ...

Modification of thermoelectric properties using insertion techniques

Hatzikraniotis, E.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Chrissafis, K.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M. (1999)

In this work is presented the application insertion techniques for the modification of the performance of thermoelectric materials. The results indicate that in cases as in Bi2Se3 compounds where insertion of foreign species ...

Properties of Si-doped GaN and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by RF-MBE on high resistivity Fe-doped GaN

Iliopoulos, E.; Zervos, Matthew; Adikimenakis, A.; Tsagaraki, K.; Georgakilas, A. (2006)

Silicon-doped GaN epilayers and AlGaN/GaN heterostructures were developed by nitrogen plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on high resistivity iron-doped GaN (0001) templates and their properties were investigated by ...

Symmetry of differential optical responses of normal and superconducting phases in single-crystal YBCO

Studenmund, W. R.; Fishman, I. M.; Kino, G. S.; Giapintzakis, John (1995)

We measured differential optical reflectivity (DOR) of YBCO single domains. DOR measurements reject the temperature independent bulk reflectivity and reveal dR dT. These measurements detect the superconducting transition, ...

Thermoelectric properties and site-selective Rb+/K+ distribution in the K2-xRbxBi8Se13 series

Kyratsi, Theodora; Chung, D. Y.; Ireland, J. R.; Kannewurf, C. R.; Kanatzidis, M. G. (2003)

β-K2Bi8Se13 possesses promising thermoelectric properties whereas Rb2Bi8Se13 does not. The formation of solid solutions between these two compounds was attempted to study the alkali metal distribution in the structure and ...

Thermoelectric properties of nanocrystalline PbTe synthesized by mechanical alloying

Papageorgiou, Ch; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Lioutas, Ch B.; Frangis, N.; Valassiades, O.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2010)

In this work, nanocrystalline lead telluride powder was synthesized from high-purity elements by mechanical alloying by means of a planetary ball-milling procedure. The milling medium was tungsten carbide, and the diameter ...
