A Canadian research firm, Advances in Engineering, interested in the research article by Prof. Nohara and others

May 09, 2014

A research paper on the materials for thermoelectric generation by Prof. Minoru Nohara, Assoc. Porf. Kazutaka Kudo and others (Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University) was presented on the website of a Canadian research firm, Advances in Engineering (AIE), as noteworthy engineering results on May 6. （http://advanceseng.com/applied-physics/enhancing-high-temperature-thermoelectric-properties-ptas2-rh-doping ）

AIE posts exceptional research results from major scientific journals on its website. AIE introduces them to private enterprises world-wide and provides consulting and matching services. AIE is interested in the following article published by Prof. Nohara et al. in 2013; Prof. Nohara and others who developed a thermoelectric material which performs 1.5 times better than existing materials.

A fact that an independent organization overseas has expressed interest in the material proves the importance of practical and applicable research.


Presented article: "Enhancing high-temperature thermoelectric properties of PtAs2 by Rh doping", K. Kudo, S. Nakano, T. Mizukami, T. Takabatake, M. Nohara, Applied Physics Letters 103, 092107-1-3 (2013).
