Thermoelectric energy conversion is a direct but low-efficiency process, which precludes the development of long-awaited wide-scale applications. As a breakthrough permitting a drastic performance increase is seemingly out of reach, we fully reconsid

A theoretical analysis of single-barrier thermionic emission cooling in semiconducting materials is performed using Fermi–Dirac statistics. Both maximum cooling and coefficient of performance are evaluated. It is shown that the performance of a the

Despite recent advances, thermoelectric energy conversion will never be as efficient as steam engines. That means thermoelectrics will remain limited to applications served poorly or not at all by existing technology. Bad news for thermoelectricians,

A series of n-type ZnO alloys doped with Ga and ZnS were prepared by mechanical alloying. Densities of 95% to 98% of theoretical density were achieved by hot pressing the milled powders at 1000 and 1200 °C, respectively. The electrical resistivity a

Controlled amounts of GaP and P were added to a Si0.8Ge0.2 matrix by a powder‐metallurgical technique in order to evaluate the optimum composition for thermoelectric applications. Bulk determination of the gallium and phosphorus content in fully de

An analytical model of thermionic emission cooling that includes contact resistance is presented. The electrical current density necessary for peak operation of thermionic emission coolers is such that even the slightest resistance in the contacts to

The iridium-silicon phase diagram on the silicon-rich side was investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction, density, differential thermal analysis, metalography, microprobe analysis, and electrical resistivity. Attempts were made to prepare eig

The thermoelectric properties of 28 sintered Si(0.8)Ge(0.2) alloys, heavily doped with either B or P and prepared from powders with median particle sizes ranging from about 1 to over 100 microns, have been determined from 300 to 1300 K. The thermal c

A model is presented for the high-temperature transport properties of large-grain-size, heavily doped n-type silicon-germanium alloys. Electron and phonon transport coefficients are calculated using standard Boltzmann equation expressions in the rela
