Thermoelectrics: Nanostructuring and more
&
Abstract
In thermoelectric materials, the application of a temperature gradient generates a voltage, and vice versa. By exploiting this coupling between thermal and electrical properties, devices can be made that carry heat from a cold side to a hot side (refrigeration) or that generate electricity from heat flows (Fig.
