      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 Bi-doping and Mg-excess on the thermoelectric properties of Mg2Si materials 

      Ioannou, M.; Polymeris, G. S.; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Paraskevopoulos, K. M.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2014)
      In this work, Bi-doped magnesium silicide compounds were prepared by applying a combination of both, short-time ball milling and heating treatment. The effect of Mg excess was also studied, aiming towards further improvement ...

      Solid-state synthesis of Mg 2Si via short-duration ball-milling and low-temperature annealing 

      Ioannou, M.; Chrissafis, K.; Pavlidou, E.; Gascoin, F.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2013)
      In this work, a short duration ball-milling of elemental Mg and Si followed by a thermal treatment is suggested in order to synthesize magnesium silicide via solid-state reaction. The formation of magnesium silicide was ...
