Mechanical properties and microstructure of spark plasma sintered nanostructured p-type SiGe thermoelectric alloys
SiGe based thermoelectric (TE) materials have been employed for the past four decades for power generation in radio-isotope thermoelectric generators (RTG). Recently “nanostructuring” has resulted in significantly increasing the figure-of-merit (ZT) of both n and p-type of SiGe and thus nanostructur...
