Projects of three young scientists from MIET (the largest university in Zelenograd) were among the best works in the presidential competition for research and development in priority areas of modernization of the Russian economy.

The project of Dmitry Terekhov, a junior researcher at the Institute of Advanced Materials and Technologies of MIET, entitled "Regularities of the change in the dependences of the thermo-EMF coefficient and conductivity of thin films of chalcogenide semiconductors on the GeTeSb2Te3 quasi-binary cut line, intended for thermoelectric devices" is associated with the materials of the germanium-antimony-tellin system.

- When studies were carried out on phase memory, it was found that thin films based on these materials are capable of generating an electric current when creating a temperature difference. Thus, it is possible to make a device that can generate electricity, for example, due to the heat of the human body - to recharge mobile phones, watches, lenses, - said Dmitry.
