We propose to determine the feasibility of a low cost printing process for the production of complex arrays of p n junctions using nano Bismuth Telluride and Antimony Telluride powders. These arrays will be sintered and electrically connected with screen printed and sintered nano silver. It may be possible (with a suitable number of junctions) to generate output voltages of circa 50mV that can be utilised by systems with modest sensitivity thereby reducing overall system cost.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
