This thesis by Mohammad Amin Gharavi focuses on the synthesis and theoretical prediction of nitride thin films, particularly exploring cubic chromium nitride (CrN) for thermoelectric applications. The research addresses the challenge of improving energy efficiency in devices that convert thermal gradients to electrical energy via the Seebeck effect. CrN films demonstrated promising properties such as high power factors and low thermal conductivity, potentially offering a more cost-effective and stable alternative to traditional materials. The study also investigates hypothetical ternary nitrides, aiming to enhance thermoelectric performance by reducing thermal conductivity. This work is intended for researchers and professionals in material science and physics, supported by extensive calculations and experimental methodologies.

This dissertation by Mohammad Amin Gharavi focuses on the theoretical and experimental studies of early transition metal nitrides, particularly chromium nitride (CrN), for their thermoelectric properties. The research aims to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric materials by exploring new compounds and alloys. Key findings include the promising thermoelectric performance of CrN thin films and the potential of hypothetical ternary nitrides equivalent to scandium nitride. The study involves both experimental synthesis and theoretical calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) to predict and validate material properties.
