The ECT2011 is the 9th in the series of European Conferences on Thermoelectrics (ECT) which are promoted by the European Thermoelectric Society. Its aim is to provide a forum for exchange of information and achievements in the field of Thermoelectrics (TE), and to enhance the communication between research institutions and industries for promotion of ΤΕ applications. The ECT2011 invites experts, scientists and engineers from Research and Industry all around Europe and abroad to discuss the state-of-the-art of the technology, latest advances in material research, device design and market opportunities. The scope of ECT2011 covers a wide range of research that bridges the gap between basic science and applications on thermoelectrics: • Theory: theoretical studies of bulk materials, nanoscale and low-dimensional induced effects, novel concepts and related physical phenomena • Thermoelectric Materials: Chalcogenides, skutterudites, antimonides, oxides, silicides & Heusler compounds, clathrates & zintl compounds, novel materials • Measurement & Characterization: microstructure, properties • Thermoelectric Modules: design and fabrication, thin film devices, device performance • System & Industrial Applications: cooling applications, automotive applications, generator applications, other waste heat recovery, other industrial aspects ECT2011 had a tremendous response by the scientific community: we have received a total of 243 abstracts for oral and poster presentations, a number that was beyond our expectations, and for this reason we want to thank every participant individually! The number of received abstracts ranks ECT2011 as one of the bigger events in Thrmoelectrics for 2011 and it underscores the rapidly rising interest in the field. Out of the 243 abstracts, 12 were the presentations of invited speakers and only 10 were withdrawn by their authors. 34 countries have contributed to the abstracts, with 288 individual authors. Though ECT is a European Conference, we have received abstracts from many countries beyond Europe, like China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Israel, USA etc. Germany holds the lead with 41 contributions in abstracts, followed by Japan (28), France (20), USA (19) and Poland (19). The 10 most contributing countries are shown in figure bellow. USA, 19 China, 14 United Kingdom, France, 20 15 Ukraine, 13 Germany, 41 Spain, 10 Russia, 12 Poland, 19 Greece, 12 Japan, 28 Descriptive chart of the 10 most contributing countries in ECT2011 9th European Conference on Thermoelectrics TE materials lead in the distribution of abstracts, by 59%. In the figure bellow you may find the distribution of the abstracts in the various fields. This outlines the current dynamics on the field of thermoelectrics; still much of the effort is focused on the materials side as opposed to TE modules and industrial applications. The large number of received abstracts, and the limited time of the conference days, forced us to organize the conference in two parallel sessions; one on TE materials and another on the other fields. Systems Theory TE modules 11% 13% 7% Measurement 10% TE materials 59% Chart of abstracts distribution in TE fields of application Papers presented in ECT2011 are published: • In the Conference Proceeding CD, which you may find in your bag. • In a special volume of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Conference Series. AIP Conference Proceedings is indexed in the major databases such as Web of Knowledge (ISI) and Scopus and one year free access will be given to all registered participants • Also, selected papers will be published in a special issue of Journal of Solid State Chemistry (JSSC, impact factor 2009: 2.34). Authors of selected papers will be invited to extend their initial 4-page manuscript into a regular article, consistent with the standards of JSSC. These papers will be subjected to regular blind peer review. We feel confident that you will enjoy ECT2011 both scientifically and socially and that it will also be a wonderful chance to meet old friends and make new ones, and that the conference will be a memorable event. We wish you a fruitful and stimulating scientific and touristic experience during your presence in Thessaloniki. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Professor K.M. Paraskevopoulos, (AUTH, GRE) Chairman of ECT2011 Professor M.G. Kanatzidis (Northwestern, USA) Co-Chairman of ECT2011 9th European Conference on Thermoelectrics INVITED PRESENTATIONS 9th European Conference on Thermoelectrics 9th European Conference on Thermoelectrics Invited Talk - System & Industrial Applications INV_1 Some issues of history and prospects of thermoelectricity L. Anatychuk1 (1)Institute of Thermoelectricity, Chernivtsi, Ukraine *Corresponding Author: E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: system & industrial applications Abstract: This contribution analyzes approaches that led to discovery of thermoelectricity. They are compared to discoveries of new scientific and technical lines. A conclusion is made on the partial character of physical approaches in the discovery of thermoelectricity. Generalizations in the description of thermoelectric power conversion are considered that are based on the induction of thermoelectric currents. Consequences from this approach are analyzed and relevant lines in the development of thermoelectric power conversion are formulated. History and progress in thermoelectric material science is analyzed. The data on the boundaries of thermoelectric figure of merit of materials – crystalline, powder, film, and nanostructured is given. The prospects of computer material science are estimated. Thermoelectric restrictions imposed on the application areas of thermoelectric generators and, accordingly, the ensuing rational lines of their practical applications are considered. The possibilities of thermogenerator contribution to “green” technologies, in particular, to waste heat recovery from industry and heat engines are analyzed. Applications of photo- and thermoelectric methods in the renewable electric power sources are compared. The data on competitiveness of thermal generators with respect to chemical current sources is presented. The data on the rational application areas of thermoelectric cooling is presented. Tellurium problem and the ways of tackling this issue are considered. Attention is focused on the efficiency of computer methods for designing thermoelectric devices. Particular attention is paid to prospects of thermoelectricity application in measuring technique and metrology. Conclusions are given that follow from the information-energy theory for thermoelectric measuring systems. Attention is drawn to the decisive role of using semiconductor materials

The Chemical Sciences, Geosciences and Biosciences Division of the Office of Basic Energy Sciences and its predecessors have sponsored research in heavy element chemistry and separations sciences for over fifty years. Although these are distinct disciplines, they have much in common for many reasons, in particular because (1) separations research is needed to produce pure heavy-element samples and (2) heavy element chemistry provides the basis for many separations processes.

    College of Science 2017–2019 Stepping up to the world’s greatest challenges. College of Science highlights for the fiscal years beginning July 1, 2017 and ending June 30, 2019. Oregon State is a profoundly public-spirited university characterized by world-class researchers and collaborative community-builders intent on serving people across the state, the nation and the world. This powerful drive reflects our institution’s status not only as a Land-Grant university, but also a Space-Grant, Sun-Grant and Sea-Grant university. These designations signal Oregon State’s ability to receive federal funding for research projects that benefit the larger community. Science plays a key role in that quest. The College of Science is deeply engaged in solving many of the most pressing challenges we face as a society. Together we ignite a passion for science in all learners and move discoveries from the lab to people’s lives. The university’s broad research, scholarship, teaching, service and discovery enterprise encompasses all areas of science. From ploughs to touch screens Science has played a founding role in carrying out Oregon State’s Land Grant mission from its origins in the Morrill Act of 1862. The College’s pioneering programs and research in biohealth, the life sciences, marine and environmental sciences, and statistics help us adapt to changing social and economic needs. Through evidence-based programs, science provides both a body of evidence and a mode of inquiry that leads to world-changing discoveries. Local, state and global industries have profited from sustainable materials that began as lab experiments in Gilbert Hall, from more efficient batteries and greener touch screens, to a new heat-resistant paint using a historic new blue pigment discovered here.
