Driving perpendicular heat flow: (p×n)-type transverse thermoelectrics for microscale and cryogenic Peltier cooling.
Whereas thermoelectric performance is normally limited by the figure of merit ZT, transverse thermoelectrics can achieve arbitrarily large temperature differences in a single leg even with inferior ZT by being geometrically tapered. We introduce a band-engineered transverse thermoelectric with p-type Seebeck in one direction and n-type orthogonal, resulting in off-diagonal terms that drive heat...
متن کاملPeltier cooling in molecular junctions.
The study of thermoelectricity in molecular junctions is of fundamental interest for the development of various technologies including cooling (refrigeration) and heat-to-electricity conversion 1-4 . Recent experimental progress in probing the thermopower (Seebeck effect) of molecular junctions 5-9 has enabled studies of the relationship between thermoelectricity and molecular structure 10,11 ....
متن کاملThermoelectrics for Cooling Power Electronics
To increase the efficiency and reduce emissions, the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), fuel cell vehicle (FCV), and electric vehicle (EV) types were developed. All these vehicle types rely on power electronics (PEs) to function. Yet, the reliability and performance of PEs are directly related to the operating temperature. Therefore, cooling is considered an option to reduce the operating temperatu...
متن کاملDirect electronic measurement of Peltier cooling and heating in graphene
Thermoelectric effects allow the generation of electrical power from waste heat and the electrical control of cooling and heating. Remarkably, these effects are also highly sensitive to the asymmetry in the density of states around the Fermi energy and can therefore be exploited as probes of distortions in the electronic structure at the nanoscale. Here we consider two-dimensional graphene as a...
متن کاملBias-dependent Peltier coefficient and internal cooling in bipolar devices
The work described here is an investigation of thermoelectric phenomena in bipolar semiconductors and p-n junctions. In contrast to majority-carrier semiconductors in which a constant material-dependent Peltier coefficient is defined for a given temperature, bipolar devices can be modeled by introducing a bias-dependent Peltier coefficient at interfaces that takes into account the variation of ...
