Nanosilicon and thermoelectricity
2017This chapter focuses on the ways ZT may be improved in silicon by nanotechnology. It describes the profound interplay between preparation methods and thermoelectric performances will be reviewed; both top-down and bottom-up methods. Thermoelectricity is the onset of transport phenomena in which heat or charge current are cross-driven by temperature ...

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on engines that transform heat directly into electricity—the thermoelectric, the thermionic, and the radio-noise converters. The ability of a thermocouple to generate a voltage when there is a temperature difference across it suggests its use as a heat engine capable of producing electricity directly.

Thermoelectric Cooling Through Thermoelectric Materials
2010Thermoelectric (TE) cooling has been used for thermal management of high-power-dissipating electrical components, with silent, compact, reliable, and durable characteristics and being modulated to maintain a fixed temperature. However, TE coolers currently in use have a coefficient of performance (COP) of only about 0.5.

Introduction to Thermoelectricity
2010Introduction to Thermoelectricity is the latest work by Professor Julian Goldsmid drawing on his 55 years experience in the field. The theory of the thermoelectric and related phenomena is presented in sufficient detail to enable researchers to understand their observations and develop improved thermoelectric materials. The methods for the selection of
