報告内容簡介：

The supply of energy is one of the great social challenges of the twenty first century, both at the global level, where alternatives to fossil fuels are needed, and also at the local level, where batteries often supply energy. Given the tremendous advances in information processing technology provided by the shrinking transistor, it is natural to explore electron device based energy generation and scavenging as a means for addressing these issues. A tremendous amount of energy manifests itself in the environment as waste heat and electron devices in the form of thermoelectrics provide a natural means of scavenging this waste energy. In this presentation, we will discuss the opportunities for manipulating phonon scattering in thermoelectric nanostructures to produce highly efficient thermoelectric materials.
