Fast semiconductor thermoelectric devices

Sensors and Actuators, 1987
Abstract The parameters of a thermoelectric radiation detector on a Bi 2 Te 3 basis were calculated. Maximum specific detectivity requires a special geometric relation between the receiver area and the thermocouple leg dimensions. To obtain a response time in the millisecond range, thermocouple legs approximately 100 μm long have to be produced.

Wearable Thermoelectric Devices

2019
Wearable thermoelectric devices can be used to harvest electrical energy from human body heat for the realization of wearable self-powered mobile electronics. They require high mechanical and electrical stabilities under cyclic loading. Research trends in wearable thermoelectric devices were investigated from the perspectives of materials, devices, and

Nanowire Composite Thermoelectric Devices

Microelectromechanical Systems, 2002
This paper discusses the design, fabrication and testing of a novel thermoelectric device comprised of arrays of silicon nanowires embedded in a polymer matrix. By exploiting the low thermal conductivity of the composite and presumably high power factor of the nanowires, a high figure of merit should result.

Simulation of thermoelectric devices

2007
Thermoelectric Generators are devices for direct conversion of heat into electricity.Their outstanding reliability due to the lack of moving parts makes them attractive candidates for a series of applications. However, today’s thermoelectric devices are limited by their low efficiency and high costs.

Efficiency of Thermoelectric Devices

American Journal of Physics, 1961
The known expressions for various efficiencies of thermoelectric energy converters can be so modified that the Carnot efficiency ηc of the ideal heat engine cycle appears as one of two significant parameters. The other parameter ZT (Z = figure of merit, T = hot spot temperature  in °K) is a significant characteristic of the thermoelectric material used
