Influence of Dimensionality on Thermoelectric Device Performance [PDF]
, 2008 The role of dimensionality on the electronic performance of thermoelectric devices is clarified using the Landauer formalism, which shows that the thermoelectric coefficients are related to the transmission, T(E), and how the conducing channels, M(E ...

Materials Today, 2016 Metallic Ag microsphere in a ceramic matrix Thermoelectricity is the direct solid-state conversion between thermal and electrical energy, without any moving parts, due to the well-known Seebeck effect. Currently, more than half of the energy produced ends up in the form of wasted heat: thermoelectric harvesting and energy conversion constitutes an ...

Topological materials for high performance transverse thermoelectrics
Next EnergyTransverse thermoelectrics based on Nernst-Ettingshausen effect have been widely investigated in the 20th century. Old results of transverse thermoelectrics have shown low performances and usually require large magnetic fields. In recent years, the surge

Tuneable local order in thermoelectric crystals
IUCrJ, 2021 Although crystalline solids are characterized by their periodic structures, some are only periodic on average and deviate on a local scale. Such disordered crystals with distinct local structures have unique properties arising from both collective and ...

Opto-thermoelectric microswimmers [PDF]
Light: Science & Applications, 2020 AbstractInspired by the “run-and-tumble” behaviours of Escherichia coli (E. coli) cells, we develop opto-thermoelectric microswimmers. The microswimmers are based on dielectric-Au Janus particles driven by a self-sustained electrical field that arises from the asymmetric optothermal response of the particles. Upon illumination by a defocused laser beam,

Topological insulators and thermoelectric materials
, 2012 Topological insulators (TIs) are a new quantum state of matter which have gapless surface states inside the bulk energy gap. Starting with the discovery of two dimensional TIs, the HgTe-based quantum wells, many new topological materials have been ...
