THERMOELECTRIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF FABRICATING HIGH THERMOELECTRIC PERFORMANCE MgAgSb-BASED MATERIALS

摘要

Systems and methods of manufacturing a thermoelectric, high performance material by using ball-milling and hot pressing materials according to various formulas, where some formulas substitute a different element for part of one of the elements in the formula, in order to obtain a figure of merit (ZT) suitable for thermoelectric applications.
