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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
