Many of the recent advances in enhancing the thermoelectric figure of merit are linked to
nanoscale phenomena found both in bulk samples containing nanoscale constituents and in …

Efficient solid state energy conversion based on the Peltier effect for cooling and the
Seebeck effect for power generation calls for materials with high electrical conductivity σ …

Ten years ago, DM Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to
wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical …

This is a graduate level textbook in nanoscale heat transfer and energy conversion that can
also be used as a reference for researchers in the develo** field of nanoengineering. It …

It has been almost thirty years since the publication of a book that is entirely dedicated to the
theory, description, characterization and measurement of the thermal conductivity of solids …

We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

Thermal to electrical energy conversion, through thermoelectric and thermionic materials,
has been proposed to be much more efficient in lower dimensional materials at the …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

We report here a theoretical model for the transport properties of cylindrical Bi nanowires.
Based on the band structure of Bi nanowires and the semiclassical transport model, the …

Even before it was identified as a science and given a name, nanotechnology was the
province of the most innovative inventors. In medieval times, craftsmen, ingeniously …
