Nanostructured energy-harvesting thermoelectrics based on Mg2Si (ThermoMag)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

The core concept of the ThermoMag project revolves around developing and delivering new energy-harvesting thermoelectric materials and proof-of-concept modules, based on nanostructured bulk Mg2Si solid solutions. This class of TE material would have the following attractive characteristics: (i) ZT value >1.5 for both n-type and p-type doped material, (ii) operational in the temperature range 300-5 ...

Prediction of the Effects of Radiation FOr reactor pressure vessel and in-core Materials using multi-scale modelling - 60 years foreseen plant lifetime (PERFORM 60)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"In nuclear power plants, materials may undergo degradation due to severe irradiation conditions that may limit their operational life. Utilities that operate these reactors need to quantify the ageing and the potential degradations of some essential structures of the power plant to ensure safe and reliable plant operation. So far, the material databases needed to take account of these degradation ...

GEn IV and Transmutation MATerials (GETMAT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

In FP5 and FP6, a number of significant projects have been launched, aimed at investigating innovative strategies for safe and optimised radioactive waste management. In particular P/T strategies based on the use of Accelerator Driven Systems are being addressed within the integrated project EUROTRANS. Moreover, during FP6, projects were also initiated to study advanced systems, as defined in the ...

Thermoelectric generator for engine control system (ThetaGen)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

ThetaGen aims to scavenge energy from a turboshaft and convert it in electrical power to feed the engine control unit. It defines and specifies such a power block, benchmarks potential technolgies, develops a demonstrator and prove the concept thru actual measurements on an engine. It gathers companies over four European countries: a aircraft manufacturer, two research labs, an expert in thermoele ...

Spin and Orbital Physics : Research of Advanced New Oxides (SOPRANO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The remarkable physical properties of transition metal oxides result from the strong interactions between orbitals, charges, spins and lattice. The discovery and the understanding of these properties – superconductivity, thermoelectricity, magnetoresistance – is based on a close relationship between solid-state chemists, able to design new crystallographic structures in which the ligand field stab ...
