A renewed interest in Ge has been sparked by the prospects of exploiting its lower effective mass and higher hole mobility to improve the performance of transistors. Ge emerges also as a promising material in the field of spin qubits, as its coherence times are expected to be very long. Finally, it has been proposed that strained Ge nanowires show an unusually large spin orbit interaction, making ...

The project aims at developing “Nanoparticle Embedded in Alloy Thermoelectric (NEAT)” materials to harvest energy in the KW range. Thermoelectric Generators will help to recover some of the huge amount of wasted high-grade thermal power leading to significant savings in fuel and Green House Gas emissions. These innovative materials will be designed to perform efficient waste heat recovery in high ...
