Basic research on thermoelectric materials
– synthesis and fundamental properties
24.11.2016, Berlin-Wannsee
Programme
Dear Colleagues,
the focus of the research activities at HelmholtzZentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB)
is on the understanding and the development of
new functional materials, processes and prototype
systems for efficient energy conversion and storage,
and energy-efficient information technologies. One
aspect of HZB’s energy material research program is
fundamental research on thermoelectric materials,
i.e. materials that are used for heating or cooling
applications or the recovery of waste heat as a consequence of their favorable electronic and structural
properties. To be able to study thermoelectrics
and energy materials in general, HZB operates two
large-scale research facilities – the neutron source
BER II and the synchrotron radiation source BESSY
II – which are used by HZB researchers and guest
scientists from all around the world.
9:15 // Opening - Welcome, Prof. Dr. Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the first HZB
Thermoelectrics Colloquium on Basic Research
on thermoelectric materials – synthesis and
fundamental properties on Thursday, November 24,
2016, at the Lise-Meitner-Campus of HelmholtzZentrum Berlin.
This colloquium focuses on the discussion of new
thermoelectric materials, their synthesis and on the
investigation, both experimentally and theoretically,
of their fundamental material properties. We are delighted to invite you to a day full of scientific presentations by renowned invited speakers offering interesting insights into their current research, a poster
session with presentations by young scientists and
the excellent opportunity to meet colleagues and to
discuss new developments and trends in the field of
thermoelectrics.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to HZB for
this event!
