Improving the High Temperature Thermoelectric Properties of Boron Cluster Compounds through Microstructure Control

Mori T., Nishimura T., Bando Y., National Institute for Materials Science, JP

The search for thermoelectric materials is being carried out with great intensity because of the huge possibilities for useful energy conversion of waste heat. There is obviously a particular need to develop materials which can [...]

Numerical Analysis of the Effect of Diffusion and Creep Flow on Cavity Growth at the Nano-scale Level

Brust F.W., Oh J., Battelle Memorial Institute, US

At high temperature, cavity initiation and cavity growth are important phenomena in understanding the failure mechanism and in predicting the lifetime of various parts in service in the area of power plants, aerospace applications, among [...]

Computing Enthalpy-Entropy Interplay for Isomeric Fullerenes: C94 IPR Set

Zhao X., Slanina Z., Goto H., Osawa E., Toyohashi University of Technology, JP

The complete set of 134 isolated-pentagon-rule (IPR) isomers of C94 has been studied by the SAM1, PM3, AM1, and MNDO quantum-chemical methods, MM3 force field method, ab initio HF/4-31G SCF calculation and density functional theory [...]
