Bismuth sulphide (Bi2S3), an n-type semiconductor that critically demonstrates the Seebeck effect with coefficients of about 300 μVK−1. However, its poor electrical conductivity makes it unsuitable for thermoelectric applications. In this study, we present a facile preparation method fabricating Bi-sprayed Bi2S3 particles alters their properties. Samples were created differing Bi concentrations...

This paper deals with the long-standing conflict between interpretations of thermoelectricity based on original reversible thermodynamics Thomson and later irreversible Onsager. It is shown that, by a slight modification Maxwellian relaxation treated in previous [J. Goddard K. Kamrin, “Dissipation potentials from elastic collapse,” Proc. R. Soc. A 475, 20190144 (2019)], Onsager's symmetry simpl...

We investigate the thermoelectric properties of a hybrid nanodevice composed two-dimensional carbon-based material and superconductor. This system presents nonlinear bipolar thermoelectricity, as induced by spontaneous breaking particle-hole (PH) symmetry in tunnel junction between bilayer graphene (BLG) Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer In this scheme, effect, predicted observed superconductor-insulat...

We review some recent advances in studies of phase-coherent thermoelectric effects superconducting hybrid structures such as, e.g., Andreev interferometers. elucidate a number mechanisms electron–hole symmetry breaking systems causing dramatic enhancement effects. demonstrate that the flux-dependent thermopower exhibits periodic dependence on applied magnetic flux $${{\Phi }_{x}}$$ which limits...
