Fabrication of nanocomposites by introduction of SiO2 metal oxide nanoparticles into a cobalt silicide thermoelectric matrix is studied. The CoSi matrix material was prepared through solid-state synthesis, and the nano-SiO2 metal oxide was introduced by mechanical grinding. The mixed powders were hot pressed to fabricate nanocomposites. The structural and morphological modifications were studied by powder x-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The thermoelectric properties of the materials were followed through the Hall effect, Seebeck coefficient, and electrical and thermal conductivities in the temperature range from 300 K to 1000 K. © 2014, TMS.

Using statistical analysis as an additional tool in porous solid characterization
Attipa, Christothea; Panayiotou, Antonia; Kokkinofta, Rebecca I.; Theocharis, Charis R. (2011)Analytical chemists have long used statistical methods to help them organize and interpret experimental data-especially where large numbers of these are generated-as well as to help them design new experiments. Recently, ...
