Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHighly-Efficient Advanced Thermoelectric Devices from Different Multilayer Thin FilmsSatilmis Budak, Zhigang Xiao, Barry Johnson et al.The efficiency of the thermoelectric materials and devices is shown by the dimensionless Figure of merit, ZT. ZT is calculated by multiplying the Seebeck coefficient with square of the electrical conductivity and absolute temperature and dividing it all by the thermal conductivity. Thermoelectric devices were prepared using different multilayered thin film structures in the order of SiO2/SiO2 + Ge/Ge/Sb + … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 27 Apr 2016 · 8,368 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThermal Treatment Effects on the Thermoelectric Properties of Ni/Si/Si + Sb/Si/Si + Ge/Ni Multilayer Thin FilmsSatilmis Budak, Zhigang Xiao, Shujun YangThe multilayer thermoelectric devices including Ni/200 layers of Si/Si + Sb/200 layers of Si/Si + Ge/Ni thin films were fabricated using electron beam and DC/RF magnetron sputtering deposition systems. The thickness measurements have been performed using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The Au contacts at the bottom and top of the fabricated thermoelectric devices were measured as 100 nm for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 14 Nov 2020 · 6,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThermoelectric and Optical Properties of Advanced Thermoelectric Devices from Different Multilayer Thin FilmsMebougna Drabo, Satilmis BudakThermoelectric devices were prepared using different multilayered thin film structures in the order of Ge/Si+Ge, Si+Ge, Si, Sb+Ge, Ge and SiO2/SiO2+Ge by DC/RF Magnetron Sputtering. The thickness of the deposited thin films were measured using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The prepared thermoelectric devices have been modified with 5 MeV Si ions bombardments at the different fluences (doses) using Pelletron … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 29 Aug 2019 · 8,113 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC-Driven Mini Refrigerators: Recent Applications With Performance CharacteristicsTamer Guclu, Pinar Mert Cuce et al.Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) technology has become a remarkable alternative in mini refrigerator applications in recent years, thanks to its lack of moving parts, silent operation, compact structure and environmentally friendly features. This study aims to examine the current usage areas, performance characteristics, and engineering challenges of TEC systems in mini refrigerator applications with a holistic approach. Experimental and theoretical studies … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractXPS Studies of the SiO2 Substrates and Thermoelectric Thin Films of Sn/Sn+SnO2 under the Effects of the Different Thermal TreatmentsRichard Lagle, Stephen Egarievwe, Satilmis Budak, Mebougna DraboMultilayered thermoelectric Sn/Sn+SnO2 thin films were prepared using KJL DC/RF magnetron sputtering system under Ar gas plasma on the SiO2 substrates. The thicknesses of the fabricated thin films were found using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The fabricated thin films were annealed at different temperatures for one hour to tailor the thermoelectric properties. In this study, unannealed, annealed at 150 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 8,209 accessesView PDFCite
