...Mirosław Gracjan Gierczak; Eugeniusz Prociów; Andrzej Dziedzic Purpose This paper aims to focus on the fabrication and characterization of mixed thin-/thick-film thermoelectric microgenerators, based on magnetron sputtered constantan (copper–nickel alloy) and screen-printed silver. To improve...

...Miroslaw Gracjan Gierczak; Jacek Wróblewski; Andrzej Dziedzic Purpose The paper focuses on design, fabrication and characterization of electromagnetic microgenerators with integrated rectifying circuits to convert AC output signal to DC one. The work includes research on simulation of voltage...

...Piotr M. Markowski Purpose The purpose of this paper was to develop the methodology of thick-film/low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) multilayer thermoelectric microgenerator fabrication including the procedure of silver-nickel thermocouples integration with LTCC. Design/methodology...
