Allon I. Hochbaum has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Nanostructures having high performance thermoelectric properties
    Patent number: 9219215
    Abstract: The invention provides for a nanostructure, or an array of such nanostructures, each comprising a rough surface, and a doped or undoped semiconductor. The nanostructure is an one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructure, such a nanowire, or a two-dimensional (2-D) nanostructure. The nanostructure can be placed between two electrodes and used for thermoelectric power generation or thermoelectric cooling.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2015
    Assignee: The Regents of The University of California
    Inventors: Peidong Yang, Arunava Majumdar, Allon I. Hochbaum, Renkun Chen, Raul Diaz Delgado
