The Young’s Modulus of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
(2011-02-08)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were discovered in 1952, but their exciting properties have been brought to the attention of the scientific community only recently. CNTs, which can be thought of as rolled up sheets of graphene, ... -
Two Thermoelectric Materials: Thermoelectric Properties of SnTe-SnSe and Synthesis of Skutterudite Na1+xFe4P12
(2010-06-29)This thesis examines two different types of thermoelectric materials, compounds that can convert heat energy into electrical energy. First, Stevens et al. synthesized a two-phase SnTe- SnSe system and analyzed its ...
