Description of the research topic:
The actual Pb-Se-Te-based thermoelectric materials are not resistent to high temperature and to corrosion. We propose to prepare a multielement metallic composition with several 10 microvolt/K Seebeck coefficient based on electronic stucture calculations.
The nominator of the figure of merit, -the thermal conductivity-, will be diminished by the foam structure of the alloy which will be prepared by the usual "yeast" technology. In this way the value of the figure of merit will be increased to the acceptable values for applications.
Required language skills: excellent enlgish Further requirements: experience in metallurgy, experience in computer applications, basic knowledge's in solid state physics, specially in electron transport theory and measurements
