  • Publication number: 20150372212
    Abstract: This invention relates to a Te-based thermoelectric material having stacking faults by addition of an interstitial dopant, including unit cells configured such that A-B-A-C-A elements are stacked to five layers, in which A element of a terminal of a unit cell and A element of a terminal of another unit cell are repeatedly stacked by a van der Waals interaction, wherein an interstitial element as the dopant is located at an interstitial position between the repeatedly stacked A elements adjacent to each other, thus generating stacking faults of the repeatedly stacked unit cells to thereby form a twin as well as a complex crystal structure different from the unit cells (where A is Te or Se, B is Bi or Sb, and C is Bi or Sb).

  • Patent number: 8894792
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for manufacturing a functional material for use in various industrial fields in which anisotropy or physical properties change according to height may be utilized, as well as a functional material manufactured thereby. The method includes the steps of: (1) mixing powders composed of the components of the functional material with a binder to prepare a mixed paste; (2) coating the mixed paste on a substrate, and then separating the coated material from the substrate, thus preparing a slice; (3) repeating step (2) to prepare a plurality of slices, and stacking the slices in a mold; and (4) pressing the stacked slices at a predetermined temperature and pressure. A multifunctional material, such as an anisotropic material having physical properties which change according to the direction of material, or a material having physical properties which change in a graduated manner according to height, may be manufactured in a simple and economical manner.

  • Publication number: 20100116309
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a thermoelectric material for intermediate- and low-temperature applications, in which any one or a mixture of two or more selected from among La, Sc and MM is added to a Ag-containing metallic thermoelectric material or semiconductor thermoelectric material. The thermoelectric material has a low thermal diffusivity, a high Seebeck coefficient, a low specific resistivity, a high power factor and a low thermal conductivity, and thus has a high dimensionless figure of merit, thus showing very excellent thermoelectric properties. The thermoelectric material provide thermoelectric sensors having high sensitivity and low noise and, in addition, is widely used as a thermoelectric material for intermediate- and low-temperature applications, because it shows excellent thermoelectric performance in the intermediate- and low-temperature range.

  • Patent number: 7604860
    Abstract: Provided are the high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire for an low loss overhead electric conductor, the low loss overhead electric conductor using the high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire as its core, and a manufacturing method of them respectively. The high tensile nonmagnetic stainless steel wire reduces a core loss and eddy current loss and minimizes effective electric resistance of the conductor by using the nonmagnetic stainless steel wire, that is a non-magnetic material, rather than a high carbon steel wire, that is a strong magnetic material. In addition, an overall power transmission loss is minimized by strengthening the tensile strength of and reducing a sectional area of the steel wire, making an aluminium-welded layer thicker, and increasing the sectional area of an aluminium conductor.

  • Patent number: 6103187
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of the production of multilayered bulk materials. A plurality of constituting powders of a desired multilayered material are mixed at a predetermined ratio, particle of the powders being smaller than 100 .mu.m in size. The powder mixture is mechanically alloyed for a predetermined period of time by using a high-energy ball mill in an argon-filled glove box. The mechanically alloyed powder is loaded in a mold and is then hot-pressed under a uniaxial compressive pressure at a predetermined temperature, resulting in a composition having multilayered structure. The process according to the present invention provides an effective way of overcoming thickness limitations of conventional multilayered materials and enabling low-cost mass production of multilayered materials.
