What Tian and her team of researchers found is that as a sample of GeTe is heated to ... to computationally reproduce the ...

Meanwhile, its excellent electrical insulation effectively prevents current leakage and short circuits, ensuring the safe and ...

Cast iron Brittle if thin, can be cast in a mould, strong compression strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity but poor resistance to corrosion Manhole covers, pans and gates ...

The crucial insight is that the phonons that are responsible for the lattice component of the thermal conductivity typically have longer mean free paths than the electrons in thermoelectric materials.

For example, adding synthetic graphite particles to nylon 6,6 increases the thermal conductivity from approximately 0.3 W/mK to 1.8 W/mK and decreases the electrical resistivity from approximately 10 ...
