1. IWCN 2021: Thermoelectric Properties of Complex Band and Nanostructured Materials

   Online Presentations | 14 Jul 2021 | Contributor(s):: Neophytos Neophytou, Patrizio Graziosi, Vassilios Vargiamidis

   In this work, we describe a computational framework to compute the electronic and thermoelectric transport in materials with multi-band electronic structures of an arbitrary shape by coupling density function theory (DFT) bandstructures to the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE).

2. Low Temperature Enhancement of the Thermoelectric Seebeck Coefficient in Semiconductor Nanoribbons

   Online Presentations | 09 Nov 2016 | Contributor(s):: Kommini Adithya, Zlatan Aksamija

   IWCE 2015 Presentation. We propose a novel approach to achieving a narrow window-shaped TDF through a combination of a step-like 2-dimensional density-of-states (DOS) and inelastic optical phonon scattering. A shift in the onset of scattering with respect to the step-like DOS creates a TDF which...

6. Lecture 7: The Boltzmann Transport Equation

   Online Presentations | 17 Aug 2011 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

   Semi-classical carrier transport is traditionally described by the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). In this lecture, we present theBTE, show how it is solved, and relate it to the Landauer Approach usedin these lectures
