Study On Tharmal And Thermoelectric Properties Of Tin Selenied (Snse) And Quantum Well Structure

Abstract

Tin selenide has attracted much attention in the thermoelectric community. Computational method is a that method that uses principle of computer science to assist in solving problem. It uses the result of theoretical approach incorporated into  efficient computer program, to calculate the  structure and properties of molecule and solid. In practical use, it is various scientific disciplines. Computational Science allows building models that allow making prediction of what might happened in the lab. So that perhaps better prepared to make good or to understand experiments that might be too expensive or too dangerous to do the lab, although computational method cannot replace the real laboratory work, it may become a vital tool for the exploration of scientific knowledge.

In present project work, we study how spatial confinement of acoustic phonon modes changes the thermoelectric figure of merit of quantum well structur via modification of the lattice thermal condutivity.
