      Influence of processing conditions on the thermoelectric properties of La1-xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.05) 

      Papageorgiou, C.; Athanasopoulos, G. I.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Giapintzakis, John (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Papageorgiou, C.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus, 2012)
      La1-xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.05) powders were prepared using the citrate-gel (Pechini) process. Pellets formed from these powders were sintered at various temperatures. All samples were characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction ...

      Hasapis, T. Ch; Papageorgiou, C.; Hatzikraniotis, E.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Paraskevopoulos, K. M. (Affiliation: Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54123 Thessaloniki, GreeceAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Hasapis, T. Ch.Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54123 Thessaloniki, Greece, 2009)
      Nano-crystalline lead telluride powder was synthesized by mechanical alloying using a high-energy planetary ball mill. The broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks vs ball milling time, indicates small crystalline size ...

      Low-temperature synthesis and thermoelectric properties of n-type PbTe 

      Papageorgiou, C.; Giapintzakis, John; Kyratsi, Theodora (2013)
      n-Type PbTe compounds were synthesized at temperatures as low as 430 C. After synthesis, the materials were ground, cold pressed and sintered at 600 C. The effect of this low-temperature synthesis on the structural features ...

      Thermoelectric properties of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition 

      Symeou, E.; Pervolaraki, M.; Mihailescu, C. N.; Athanasopoulos, G. I.; Papageorgiou, C.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Giapintzakis, John (2015)
      We report on the pulsed laser deposition of p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 thin films onto fused silica substrates by ablation of dense targets of Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 with an excess of 1 wt% Te. We investigated the effect of film thickness, ...
