Using Activated Transport in Parallel Nanowires for Energy Harvesting and Hot Spot Cooling
We study arrays of parallel doped semiconductor nanowires in a temperature range where the electrons propagate through the nanowires by phonon-assisted hops between localized states. By solving the random-resistor-network problem, we compute the thermopower S, the electrical conductance G, and the electronic thermal conductance Ke of the device. We investigate how those quantities depend on the...
متن کاملHot Spot Cooling and Harvesting Cpu Waste Heat Using Thermoelectric Modules
The increasing integration of high performance processors and dense circuits in current computing devices has produced high heat flux in localized areas (hot spots) that limits their performance and reliability. To control the hot spots on a CPU, many researchers have focused on active cooling methods such as thermoelectric coolers (TECs) to avoid thermal emergencies. This paper presents the op...
متن کاملEnergy Harvesting Using Piezoelectric Nanowires-A Correspondence on "Energy Harvesting Using Nanowires?" by Alexe et al
We have demonstrated an innovative approach to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by piezoelectric zinc oxide nanowire (NW) arrays. The mechanism of the nanogenerator (NG) relies on the coupling of piezoelectric and semiconducting dual properties of ZnO as well as the elegant rectifying function of the Schottky barrier formed between the metal tip and the NW. Alexe et al. have rec...

متن کاملEnergy flows in graphene: hot carrier dynamics and cooling.
Long lifetimes of hot carriers can lead to qualitatively new types of responses in materials. The magnitude and time scales for these responses reflect the mechanisms governing energy flows. We examine the microscopics of two processes which are key for energy transport, focusing on the unusual behavior arising due to graphene's unique combination of material properties. One is hot carrier gene...
