It was shown that the Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT PSS/Te hybrid is significantly larger than that of the pure PEDOT PSS polymer. Besides, electrical conductivity of the hybrid films is also higher than those of both the Te nanorods and PEDOT PSS polymer, indicating that the PEDOT PSS protects the Te from oxidation and improves inter particle contact. By varying the Te content, it was found the electrical conductivity and the TE power factor of the composite exhibit a peak at an intermediate nanowire mass fraction, whereas the Seebeck coefficient increases monotonically with increasing Te, as shown in Figure 6.37 [17].

In this study, a two-dimensional FDTD is performed to simulate the optical field on the metallic nanorod. This method also saves calculation time. In calculating the optical field on a nanoparticle, three-dimensional FDTD should be performed. In this case, the SP excited by both TE and TM modes of the waveguide can be studied. However, PC cluster should also be used to have enough memory to launch the simulation. 

By choosing ligand solvents, nanocrystalline CdE can be synthesized by the reactions of CdC204 with E (E = S, Se or Te) in polyamines such as en, diethy-lenetriamine and triethylenetetramine. CdS nanorods (Figure 7.29(a)) and nano-... 

Alloys Alloys are an important class of nanorods, because of their applications in direct methanol fuel cells, electrooxidation of methanol, etc. The list of nanorods of alloys that have been synthesized include bimetallic nanorods such as Ag-Cu, Ag-Ni, Fe-Ni, Fe-Pt, Co-Pt, Fe-B, Zn-Ni, Pt-Ru, Pt-Ni, Si-Ge, Se-Te, Ni-Co, and Cu-Co, as well as ternary alloys such as Pt-Ru-Ni.
