NCC publication (Musho)

Terry Musho (May 2012 Ph.D. graduate from the Thermal Engineering Lab, who is now an Assistant Professor at West Virginia University) had a new paper accepted in the Nanoscale/Microscale Thermophysical Engineering Journal.  The article describes a quantum model for studying the thermoelectric properties of nanocrystalline composites.  This builds on our substantial portfolio of modeling and simulation research on thermoelectric transport in nanophase materials using non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF).  The paper is being sent to the publishers; in the meantime, here is a preprint.   

Congratulations to Terry.

Gee-whiz photos

Ken Frampton made some really neat pictures of our phosphors.  The green one is YGG:Ce and red one is a europium doped organic phosphor.
