| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First-principles simulation methods to evaluate properties in phonon diffusion and thermoelectric figure of merit for materials have been established simply by providing an atomistic unit cell, and thermoelectric properties in some high-entropy alloy systems have been evaluated by carrying out the simulation developed in this project.
Design and optimization of a nanowire-based device for thermoelectric conversion have been performed by finite-element method with calculated properties by the first-principles simulation as parameters for finite-element method.
In addition, some related experiments for verifying simulation were running as international joint researches.
