Riddle solved: How two unlikely materials are held together
Riddle solved: How two unlikely materials are held together, R & D Magazine, March 11, 2013. Researchers from North Carolina State University and RTI International have determined what binds the atomic structures of seemingly incompatible materials such as thin films of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) – which converts heat into electricity or electricity to cooling – to gallium arsenide (GaAs) to create cooling devices for electronics. James LeBeau, materials science and engineering, featured.
