Abstract: Thermoelectric (TE) nanostructures with dimensions of ∼100 nm can show substantially better TE properties compared to the same material in the bulk form due to charge and heat transport effects specific to the nanometer scale. However,… read more here.

Abstract: The Kelvin relation, relating the Seebeck coefficient and the Peltier coefficient, is a theoretical basis of thermoelectricity. It was first derived by Kelvin using a quasi-thermodynamic approach. However, Kelvin’s approach was subjected to much criticism… read more here.
