We have measured x-ray diffraction patterns and Meissner flux exclusion of YBa2Cu3Oσ containing indium. All samples were synthesized at temperatures near 940 °C, and the data indicate the indium atomic solubility to be approximately 3% per formula unit. At the solubility limit Tc is reduced from 92.7 K to 91.3 K relative to undoped samples, and the total magnetic flux excluded is reduced from approximately 40% to about 10%. For samples of formula InxY1−xBa2Cu3Oσ concentrations of other Y–Ba–Cu oxide phases are low and do not depend systematically on x. These results indicate that indium substitutes predominantly for yttrium when x is small.

Global warming due to greenhouse gases that has been produced by energy generator as a byproduct has becoming a serious issue in recent decades. Thermoelectric module is an alternative method that can generate energy from heat and vice versa. The module is denominated as thermoelectric generator (TEG) when it is used to generate electricity via a process called the Seebeck effect. The use of thermoelectric generator has become more and more demanding due to the low maintenance cost and waste heat availability can be found everywhere in daily life such as car exhaust, roof tiles, and etc. The purpose of this research paper was to determine the effect of temperature mismatch on the life cycle of the thermoelectric generator efficiency using ANSYS simulation. The common used materials for the thermoelectric are bismuth telluride, lead telluride and silicon germanium. Each material has different thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity. The materials are paired together to form a thermocouple and the thermal gradient of the TEG is being evaluate through the simulation. Generally, the greater the temperature between the hot and cold side of the TEG, the higher the power generated. Bismuth telluride has a highest temperature difference between the hot and cold side followed by lead telluride and silicon germanium. The combination of BiTe(N) - BiTe(P) has the lowest minimum heat flux compared to the rest of the thermoelectric material combination. This proves that thermal and electrical properties and combination of thermoelectric material plays a vital role in the thermal gradient of the TEG.

In this study we have examined a series of strained heteropeitaxial GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs and InGaAs/GaAs structures, both on (001) GaAs substrates. These heterostructures are potentially very interesting from a device standpoint because of improved band gap properties (InAs has a much smaller band gap than GaAs so there is a large band offset at the InGaAs/GaAs interface), and because of the much higher mobility of InAs. However, there is a 7.2% lattice mismatch between InAs and GaAs, so an InxGa1-xAs layer in a GaAs structure with even relatively low x will have a large amount of strain, and misfit dislocations are expected to form above some critical thickness. We attempt here to correlate the effect of misfit dislocations on the electronic properties of this material.The samples we examined consisted of 200Å InxGa1-xAs layered in a hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) structure (InxGa1-xAs on top of a (001) GaAs buffer, followed by more GaAs, then a layer of AlGaAs and a GaAs cap), and a series consisting of a 200Å layer of InxGa1-xAs on a (001) GaAs substrate.
