CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishWe consider a thermoelectric energy generator constituted by a Si/Ge nanowire of length L. The dependence on composition and temperature of its thermal conductivity is analyzed in view of three series of experimental data obtained at the constant temperatures T = 300K, T = 400K, and T = 500K. The best-fit curve is determined by a nonlinear regression method (NLRM). Then, under the hypothesis of nonlinear constitutive equation for the heat flux, we investigate the thermoelectric efficiency of the system as function of the composition of the nanowire and of the difference of temperature applied to its ends. For each temperature we calculate the value of the composition which realizes the optimal efficiency of the thermoelectric energy conversion. The corresponding value of the thermal conductivity is determined as well.

| Abstract: | We consider a thermoelectric energy generator constituted by a Si/Ge nanowire of length L. The dependence on composition and temperature of its thermal conductivity is analyzed in view of three series of experimental data obtained at the constant temperatures T = 300K, T = 400K, and T = 500K. The best-fit curve is determined by a nonlinear regression method (NLRM). Then, under the hypothesis of nonlinear constitutive equation for the heat flux, we investigate the thermoelectric efficiency of the system as function of the composition of the nanowire and of the difference of temperature applied to its ends. For each temperature we calculate the value of the composition which realizes the optimal efficiency of the thermoelectric energy conversion. The corresponding value of the thermal conductivity is determined as well. |
