Characterization of Ge-based clathrates oxidized in air by means of TEM and SEM

Cécile Hébert, Marco Cantoni, Barbora Bártová

Germanium based clathrate-I compounds are considered for their potential applications due to possible thermoelectric and optoelectronic properties. Clathrate compounds may be an alternative to well known thermoelectric materials at higher temperature. In t ...

Transport and magnetic properties of BaVSe3

László Forró, Helmuth Berger, Ana Akrap, Vladan Stevanovic, Neven Barisic

We report a comprehensive study of transport, magnetotransport, and magnetic properties of single crystals of BaVSe3. The paramagnetic metal-ferromagnetic metal transition at 43 K was followed as a function of pressure by measuring the electrical resistivi ...

Competing orders in strongly correlated systems studied by transport measurements

Ana Akrap

Competing orders in strongly correlated systems lead to rich phase diagrams comprising many electronic phases, such as superconductivity, charge/spin density wave, charge order, or bad metallicity. These phases are generically sensitive to a variety of par ...

Ni-doped cobaltates as potential materials for high temperature solar thermoelectric converters

Balazs Sipos

Thermoelectric properties of Ni substituted (La) cobaltate compounds with perovskite structure have been investigated. For all the studied compounds the Seebeck coefficient is positive indicating predominant positive charge carriers. The electrical resisti ...

Thermopower measurements on pentacene transistors

Libero Zuppiroli, Marie-Noëlle Bussac, Adrian von Mühlenen

We present the first thermoelectric measurements on pentacene field effect transistors. We report high values of the Seebeck coefficient at room temperature between 240 and 500 micro V/K depending on the dielectric surface treatment. These values are indep ...

Transistors organiques ultraminces à base de pentacène

Adrian von Mühlenen

The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of charge transport in organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) made of pentacene. Organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with active layers thicknesses of 5, 10, 20, and 100 nm were fabricated i ...

Thermoelectrical study of ferromagnetic nanowire structures

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Santiago Serrano Guisan

The mixed effects of heat and charge transports have been studied at room temperature for NiCu and CoCu multilayers with currents perpendicular to the interfaces as well as Ni and Co homogeneous nanowires. In order to carry out this analysis, magnetothermo ...

Spin dependent thermoelectric effects in magnetic nanostructures

Santiago Serrano Guisan

The aim of this thesis work was to obtain a deeper understanding of spin-dependent transport by the study of mixed effects of heat and charge currents in magnetic nanostructures. Indeed, even thermodynamics establish a relationship between both currents, n ...
