Description

Thermoelectricity/thermoelectrics is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. This energy converstion is the results of the Seebeck effect (for heat to electricity) and the Peltier effect (for voltage difference to cooling).

    IWCE 2015 Presentation. We propose a novel approach to achieving a narrow window-shaped TDF through a combination of a step-like 2-dimensional density-of-states (DOS) and inelastic optical phonon scattering. A shift in the onset of scattering with respect to the step-like DOS creates a TDF which...
