...Y. Sungtaek Ju Pulsed thermoelectric cooling is an attractive approach for the site specific thermal management of infrared sensors and other low-heat flux devices. Intense Joule heating caused by electrical interface resistance, however, can severely degrade pulsed cooling performance. Numerical...

...A. Bulusu; D. G. Walker Several new reduced-scale structures have been proposed to improve thermoelectric properties of materials. In particular, superlattice thin films and wires should decrease the thermal conductivity, due to increased phonon boundary scattering, while increasing the local...

.... However, below 100 K, a power law dependence of T 2.6 is observed, indicating a departure from the metallic behavior. These observations will be analyzed elsewhere. The thermoelectric figure of merit ( ZT ≡ S 2 / RG , where S , R , and G are Seebeck coefficient...

...G. Chen, Assoc. Prof. Mem. ASME; A. Shakouri Solid-state energy conversion technologies such as thermoelectric and thermionic refrigeration and power generation require materials with low thermal conductivity but good electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient, which are difficult to realize...

...C.-W. Park; M. Kaviany In direct combustion-thermoelectric energy conversion, direct fuel injection and reciprocation of the air flowing in a solid matrix are combined with the solid-gas interfacial heat transfer and the solid conduction to allow for obtaining superadiabatic temperatures at the hot...

...L. L. Zheng; H. Zhang; D. J. Larson, Jr.; V. Prasad A physics-based model is developed to study the gravitational (convection), thermoelectric (Peltier, Seebeck, Joule, and Thomson) and magnetohydrodynamic (Lorentz force) effects on solidification phenomena. A scaling analysis is carried out...
