Nano-structured High-efficiency Thermo-Electric Converters (NanoHiTEC)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

The NanoHiTEC project is focused on planar thermo-electric converters based on super-lattice quantum wells, which have shown on laboratory scale already a figure of merit ZT > 4 for a wide temperature range. The optimization of BiTe based layer systems as well as Si/SiGe and B4C/B9C lattices will be combined with the development of low cost/high throughput industrial deposition processes for multi ...

...tractive for industries like automotive, aerospace, medical, telecom and consumer electronics. Large European companies tend to buy devices like sensors for their products, rather than to develop processes and devices themselves. European SMEs are natural providers of such devices. However, since there are no automated facilities in Europe for volume production of piezoelectric microsystems, they ...

Improving tool behaviour can optimise forming processes undergoing severe thermomechanical solicitations which are used to obtain high performance components. FGM are particularly appropriate for developing high performance tools since they allow this optimization through a graded variation of their properties. This project aims to develop a new generation of FGM with: •Functionally graded thermal ...
