Because of their very high thermal conductivity, low melting point, and high shear compliance, indium-based materials are excellent candidates for thermal interface material (TIM) applications for packaging thermally sensitive next-generation devices. However, currently used indium-based solders suffer from 2 serious shortcomings: (i) high cost due to high indium content, and (ii) very low compressive...
The polycrystalline samples of BaSi2, SrSi2, and LaSi were prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS). The electrical resistivity (rho) and Seebeck coefficient (S) were measured above room temperature. The S of BaSi2 was negative and the absolute values were rather high (-669 muVK-1 at 337 K). The S of SrSi2 was positive and the absolute values were lower (118 muVK-1 at 332 K) than those of BaSi2. For...
Alkaline metal (AM) atoms filled CoSb3 skutterudites are synthesized by melting method and sintered by spark plasma sintering. The maximal filling fraction or filling fraction limit (FFL) of AM (AM=Li, Na, K, Cs) in CoSb3 are estimated experimentally and show good agreement with our previous calculations based on density functional method. The effect of thermodynamics properties on FFL, crystallographic...
Nanostructuring is one of the effective approaches to lower the thermal conductivity of materials. Nanostructured skutterudite-related compounds CoSb3, Fe0.5Ni0.5Sb3, Fe0.25Ni0.25Co0.5Sb3 and Te-doped CoSb3 were synthesized by a solvothermal route. The bulk materials were prepared by hot pressing or spark plasma sintering from the solvothermally synthesized nanopowders. The thermal conductivity values...
