Download or read book Transport Phenomena in Thermoelectric and Ferromagnetic Nanostructures written by Johannes Kimling and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on transport phenomena in a variety of materials has played a decisive role in the development of solidstate physics and has led to important applications of functional materials, e.g. for the conversion and storage of energy or in the fi eld of storage and processing of data. This thesis deals with transport phenomena in nanoscale systems. The Seebeck effect is explored in Bi2Te3 nanowires, the anisotropic magnetothermal resistance effect in Ni nanowires, and the giant magnetothermal resistance effect in Co/Cu multilayers.
