Correlation effects described beyond conventional density functional theory (DFT) indeed increase the
thermopower. Depending on x, the oxidation state of cobalt nominally reads [Co.sup.(4-x)+](3[d.sup.5+x]).

Plot B, the thermo-solar power station in Ashalim is one of the biggest projects of its kind in the world, and it is also Israel's first commercial
thermopower facility to be based on solar tower technology.
Among the topics are powering microsystems with ambient energy, low-power energy harvesting solutions for biomedical devices,
thermopower wave-based microscale and nanoscale energy sources, the polymer solar cell as an energy source for low-power consumption electronics, monocrystalline silicon solar cell optimization and modeling, and piezoelectric thin films and their application to vibration energy harvesters.
