High School Lesson Plans
Students will use a thermoelectric generator module to analyze the relationship between thermal and electrical energies. Using data collection sensors and analysis software, students will investigate the relationship between the temperature gradient across a thermoelectric generator module and the resulting electrical potential. Students will then use their data and analysis to solve problems relating to waste thermal energy in electrical systems and communicate their work to their peers and teacher.

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
As wireless network devices and IOT connectivity develop, the application and demand for small, low power, in situ sensors and instruments will expand. There are continuous efforts in the miniaturization of sensors and scientific instrument systems for conventional to field deployable and rugged hand held units for personal use to extreme harsh environment applications. This work investigates mesoscale cylindrical ion trap (CIT) mass analyzer design and the benefits of CITs realized via additive manufactured metalized ceramic material systems for improved ion signal, low power performance, and extended dynamic range. Rugged monolithic miniature mass spectrometer ceramic CIT chips have been produced …

High-Resolution Dynamic Strain Sensor Using A Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Bragg Grating, Dipen Barot, Gang Wang, Lingze Duan
PRC-Affiliated Research
Dynamic strain sensing based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) has found a wide range of applications in structural health monitoring and industrial process control. Conventional approaches to enhance strain resolution upon the standard configuration have shown challenges in scaling up due to much increased system complexity. In this report, we demonstrate a new scheme based on an FBG sensor fabricated in a polarization-maintaining fiber. By using balanced detection to suppress laser intensity noise and enhance strain signal, we have demonstrated an improvement of 28 dB in signal level, 18 dB in signal-to-noise ratio, and 20× in strain resolution when compared …

Christian Binek Publications
Here we present the use of Fabry-Pérot enhanced terahertz (THz) Mueller matrix ellipsometry to measure an electromagnon excitation in monoclinic cupric oxide (CuO). As a magnetically induced ferroelectric multiferroic, CuO exhibits coupling between electric and magnetic order. This gives rise to special quasiparticle excitations at THz frequencies called electromagnons. In order to measure the electromagnons in CuO, we exploit single-crystal CuO as a THz Fabry-Pérot cavity to resonantly enhance the excitation’s signature. This enhancement technique enables the complex index of refraction to be extracted. We observe a peak in the absorption coefficient near 0.705 THz and 215 K, which corresponds …

Limitations Of Zt As A Figure Of Merit For Nanostructured Thermoelectric Materials, Xufeng Wang, Mark Lundstrom
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
Thermoelectric properties of nanocomposites are numerically studied as a function of average grain size or nanoparticle density by simulating the measurements as they would be done experimentally. In accordance with previous theoretical and experimental results, we find that the Seebeck coefficient, power factor and figure of merit, zT, can be increased by nanostructuring when energy barriers exist around the grain boundaries or embedded nanoparticles. When we simulate the performance of a thermoelectric cooler with the same material, however, we find that the maximum temperature difference is much less than expected from the given zT. This occurs because the …
