Summary:
We generalize Knuth's construction of Case I semifields quadratic over a weak nucleus, also known as generalized Dickson semifields, by doubling of central simple algebras. We thus obtain division algebras of dimension $2s^2$ by doubling central division algebras of degree $s$. Results on isomorphisms and automorphisms of these algebras are obtained in certain cases.
