    Mercouri Kanatzidis (Greek: Μερκούριος Κανατζίδης; born 1957) is a Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of chemistry and professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern University [1] and Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory.

  3. Thermoelectric materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_materials

    The efficiency of a thermoelectric device for electricity generation is given by , defined as =.. The maximum efficiency of a thermoelectric device is typically described in terms of its device figure of merit where the maximum device efficiency is approximately given by [7] = + ¯ + ¯ +, where is the fixed temperature at the hot junction, is the fixed temperature at the surface being cooled ...

  4. Paper spray ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_spray_ionization

    Its analytical performance is in accordance with stringent clinical guidelines, and it demonstrated superior figures of merit compared to LC-MS. [6] Paper Arrow is one of the few ambient ionization sources that has been clinically validated. In a study with 17 volunteers, blood and saliva samples were collected before and at 15, 30, 60 and 240 ...

  5. Lead telluride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_telluride

    The performance of thermoelectric materials can be evaluated by the figure of merit, = /, in which is the Seebeck coefficient, is the electrical conductivity and is the thermal conductivity. In order to improve the thermoelectric performance of materials, the power factor ( S 2 σ {\displaystyle S^{2}\sigma } ) needs to be maximized and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_of_merit

    Noise figure of a radio receiver; The thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, a material constant proportional to the efficiency of a thermoelectric couple made with the material; The figure of merit of digital-to-analog converter, calculated as (power dissipation)/(2 ENOB × effective bandwidth) [J/Hz] Luminous efficacy of lighting; Profit of a ...

  7. Analytical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_chemistry

    One of the most important components of analytical chemistry is maximizing the desired signal while minimizing the associated noise. [22] The analytical figure of merit is known as the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N or SNR). Noise can arise from environmental factors as well as from fundamental physical processes.

  8. Lawson criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion

    The Lawson criterion is a figure of merit used in nuclear fusion research. It compares the rate of energy being generated by fusion reactions within the fusion fuel to the rate of energy losses to the environment. When the rate of production is higher than the rate of loss, the system will produce net energy.

  9. Rietveld refinement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rietveld_refinement

    The most popular and conventional figure of merit used is the goodness of fit which should approach unity given a perfect fit, though this is rarely the case. In practice, the best way to assess quality is a visual analysis of the fit by plotting the difference between the observed and calculated data plotted on the same scale.
