Researchers working in physics, from the US, Europe, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan discuss Cooper pairs, superconductivity in highly correlated systems, the behavior of the Bose Einstein condensation critical temperature, the plasmon exchange model in carbon nanotubes, thermodynamic properties of point node superconductors, theory of the thermopower in YBCO, high-temperature superconductivity in carbon nanotubes, and magnetism and quark matter.
To be a potential thermoelectric material, a material must possess low electric resistivity ([rho]) [or high electrical conductivity ([sigma] - 1/[rho])], high thermopower ([alpha]) and low thermal conductivity (kappa]), to achieve a high thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT=([[alpha].
