Spin-flip Enhanced Thermoelectricity in Superconductor-Ferromagnet Bilayers
We study the effects of Zeeman-splitting and spin-flip scattering in a superconductor (S) on the thermoelectric properties of a tunneling contact to a metallic ferromagnet (F) using the Green’s function method. A giant thermopower has been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed in such structures. This huge thermoelectric effect is attributed to the spin-dependent particle-hole asy...
متن کاملThermoelectricity in Cnfined Liquid Electrolytes
The electric field in an extended phase of a liquid electrolyte exposed to a temperature gradient is attributed to different thermophoretic mobilities of the ion species. As shown herein, such Soret-type ion thermodiffusion is not required to induce thermoelectricity even in the simplest electrolyte if it is confined between charged walls. The space charge of the electric double layer leads to ...
متن کاملLow-Dimensional Thermoelectricity
Thermoelectric materials are used as solid-state heat pumps and as power generators. The low efficiency of devices based on conventional bulk thermoelectric materials confines their applications to niches in which their advantages in compactness and controllability outweigh that drawback. Recent developments in nanotechnologies have led to the development of thermoelectric nano-materials with d...
متن کاملRevisiting some chalcogenides for thermoelectricity.
Thermoelectric materials that are efficient well above ambient temperature are needed to convert waste-heat into electricity. Many thermoelectric oxides were investigated for this purpose, but their power factor (PF) values were too small (∼10-4 W m-1 K-2) to yield a satisfactory figure of merit zT. Changing the anions from O2- to S2- and then to Se2- is a way to increase the covalency. In this...
متن کاملTransverse Thermoelectricity in Fibrous Composite Materials
Transverse thermoelectric elements have the potential to decouple the electric current and the heat flow, which could lead to new designs of thermoelectric devices. While many theoretical and experimental studies of transverse thermoelectricity have focused on layered structures, this work examines composite materials with aligned fibrous inclusions. A simplified mathematical model was derived ...
