Design of a Polymeric Coating for Protecting Thermoelectric Materials from Sublimation and Oxidation

Description: Thermoelectric (TE) devices can undergo degradation from reactions in corrosive environments and at higher operating temperatures by sublimation and oxidation. To prevent the degradation, we have applied two high temperature polymers (HTPs) as coatings for TE materials. Sintering temperatures were from 250°C to 400°C. We explain why dip coating is better technique in our study and had two potential HTPs for tests. By applying TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), we were able to figure out which HT… more

Fabrication of Large-Scale and Thickness-Modulated Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides [2D TMDs] Nanolayers

Description: This thesis describes the fabrication and characterization of two-dimensional transition dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) nanolayers for various applications in electronic and opto-electronic devices applications. In Chapter 1, crystal and optical structure of TMDs materials are introduced. Many TMDs materials reveal three structure polytypes (1T, 2H, and 3R). The important electronic properties are determined by the crystal structure of TMDs; thus, the information of crystal structure is explained. … more
