Potentialities of TEC topping: A simplified view of parametric effects [PDF]
, 1980 An examination of the benefits of thermionic-energy-conversion (TEC)-topped power plants and methods of increasing conversion efficiency are discussed. Reductions in the cost of TEC modules yield direct decreases in the cost of electricity (COE) from TEC-

Low temperature tunneling current enhancement in silicide/Si Schottky contacts with nanoscale barrier width [PDF]
, 2011 The low temperature electrical behavior of adjacent silicide/Si Schottky contacts with or without dopant segregation is investigated. The electrical characteristics are very well modeled by thermionic-field emission for non-segregated contacts separated ...
