CMC delegation from Aarhus University attends the ICT/ECT 2012 in Aalborg, Denmark. The group of participants include director Bo B. Iversen, ass. prof. Mogens Christensen, post doc Simon Johnsen, post doc Jianli Mi and 8 ph.d. students. A total of eight posters were presented from CMC-AU. Additionally, Sebastian Christensen (ph.d. student) held an oral presentation. All titles are listed below, along with a link for the abstract of the talk.

Talk:

• Ph.d. student Sebastian Christensen: “Low thermal conductivity materials investigated using inelastic neutron scattering”. The abstract can be found here.

Posters:

• Ph.d. student Ellen Jensen: "Functionally graded thermoelectric materials through bandgap and dopant engineering by one step synthesis"
• Ph.d. student Sofie Kastbjerg: "The crystallography of lead chalcogenides"
• Ph.d. student Martin Søndergaard: "Gravity induced gradients and thermal stability of Mg₂Si_1-xSn_x compounds"
• Ph.d. student Steffen Pedersen: “Thermoelectric properties of Zintl compounds Mg₃Sb_2-xBi_x”
• Ph.d. student Hao Yin: “Zn migration during SPS pressing of Zn₄Sb₃”
• Ph.d. student Espen Drath Bøjesen: “Investigating the effect of sample preparation on the thermal diffusivity of ZnO”
• Ph.d. student Kasper Andersen Borup: “An apparatus for high temperature measurement of the resistivity and Hall coefficient”
• Post doc Jianli Mi: “Composition gradient and p-n junction in Bi₂Te₂Se single crystals”

CMC director Bo B. Iversen and CMC ass. prof. Mogens Christensen were chair holders for a total of 13 talks.

ICT is an annual conference of the International Thermoelectric Society. The next combined ICT/ECT will be in 2015, the location is not yet disclosed.
