Polymer semiconductors composed of a carbon-based π conjugated backbone have been
studied for several decades as active layers of multifarious organic electronic devices. They …

The fundamental physical properties of doped LaMnO 3, generically termed “manganites,”
and much of the underlying physics, were known more than 40 years ago. This article first …

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 …

In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

In response to the thread of environmental and ecological degradation along with projected
fossil fuel depletion the active search for efficient renewable energy conversion technologies …

Combining electron diffraction, x-ray diffraction, and high-resolution electron microscopy
techniques, a structural model for the cobaltite “Ca 3 Co 4 O 9” has been found. This …

Thermoelectrics (TE), the direct solid‐state conversion of waste heat to electricity, is a
promising field with potential wide‐scale application for power generation. Intrinsic conflicts …

We study theoretically the thermopower in cobalt oxides generalizing the Heikes formula. In
the oxides, states of carriers are largely degenerate because the crystalline field and Hund's …

Although SrTiO3-based perovskites showed a lot of promise as n-type thermoelectric (TE)
materials, they demonstrated a low figure of merit value primarily because of their high …

An investigation of the electrical properties of reduced ceria, CeO 2− x, carried out on single
crystals, shows that CeO 2− x provides one of the clearest examples of hop** conduction …
