      Gunnæs, Anette Eleonora; Tofan, Raluca; Berland, Kristian; Gorantla, Sandeep Madhukar; Storaas, Thomas Aarflot; Desissa, Temesgen Debelo; Schrade, Matthias; Persson, Clas; Einarsrud, Mari-Ann; Wiik, Kjell; Norby, Truls Eivind; Kanas, Nikola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      An all-oxide thermoelectric generator for high-temperature operation depends on a low electrical resistance of the direct p–n junction. Ca3Co4−xO9+δ and CaMnO3−δ exhibit p-type and n-type electronic conductivity, respectively, ...
    • The role of grain boundary scattering in reducing the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline XNiSn (X=Hf, Zr, Ti) half-Heusler alloys 

      Schrade, Matthias; Berland, Kristian; Eliassen, Simen Nut Hansen; Guzik, Matylda Natalia; Echevarria-Bonet, Cristina; Sørby, Magnus Helgerud; Jenus, Petra; Hauback, Bjørn; Tofan, Raluca; Gunnæs, Anette Eleonora; Persson, Clas; Løvvik, Ole Martin; Finstad, Terje (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Thermoelectric application of half-Heusler compounds suffers from their fairly high thermal conductivities. Insight into how effective various scattering mechanisms are in reducing the thermal conductivity of fabricated ...
