Thermoelectric energy harvesting for wireless self powered condition monitoring nodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Condition monitoring of machines and structures is commonly utilized in order to prevent failures before they can occur. For these reasons, data such as temperature, vibrations or displacements are collected and analysed. Sensors collect this information,

Thermoelectric effects in superconducting nanostructures [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2006
We study thermoelectric effects in superconducting nanobridges and demonstrate that the magnitude of these effects can be comparable or even larger than that for a macroscopic superconducting circuit. The reason is related to a possibility to have very large gradients of electron temperature within the nanobridge.

Electrical Modelling and Mismatch Effects of Thermoelectric Modules on Performance of a Thermoelectric Generator for Energy Recovery in Diesel Exhaust Systems

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Thermoelectric generators harvesting energy from exhaust gases usually present a temperature mismatch between modules, due to the gradual cooling of the gases along the flow direction.

Thermoelectric effects in graphene nanostructures [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2015
The thermoelectric properties of graphene and graphene nanostructures have recently attracted significant attention from the physics and engineering communities. In fundamental physics, the analysis of Seebeck and Nernst effects is very useful in elucidating some details of the electronic band structure of graphene that cannot be probed by conductance ...

Thermoelectric Effects in Nanoscale Junctions [PDF]

open access: yesNano Letters, 2009
Despite its intrinsic nonequilibrium origin, thermoelectricity in nanoscale systems is usually described within a static scattering approach which disregards the dynamical interaction with the thermal baths that maintain energy flow. Using the theory of open quantum systems, we show instead that unexpected properties, such as a resonant structure and ...
