| Objectives | Develop the techniques necessary to fabricate novel telluride based glasses, sulphide and silicide thermoelectric devices |
| Expected Results | The fabrication of a thermoelectric device involves several critical steps: accurate machining of legs; passivation and electroding; electroding of insulating base plates; positioning of legs; joining to insulating base plate; encapsulation. The challenge with new materials is to identify appropriate solders and brazes. The coefficients of expansion of the n- and p-type legs may be quite different, which makes the choice of the joining technique and materials more critical. The silicide and sulphide materials are particularly prone to oxidation at high temperatures. This project will focus on the development of new and effective encapsulation materials and design approaches. |
