Description

Thermoelectricity/thermoelectrics is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. This energy converstion is the results of the Seebeck effect (for heat to electricity) and the Peltier effect (for voltage difference to cooling).

    17 Oct 2019 | | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom, Ali Shakouri

    A short course designed to introduce semiconductor scientists and engineers to thermoelectric science and technology. The first module (by Lundstrom) is on the theory of thermoelectricity with the goal of understanding the thermoelectric transport coefficients. The second module (by Shakouri)...

  4. Nanoelectronic Devices, With an Introduction to Spintronics

    09 Sep 2010 | | Contributor(s):: Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom

        Nanoelectronic devices are at the heart of today's powerful computers and are also of great interest for many emerging applications including energy conversion, sensing and alternative computing paradigms. Our objective, however, is not to discuss specific devices or...

  5. Near-Equilibrium Transport: Fundamentals and Applications

    28 Jul 2011 | | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom

    Engineers and scientists working on electronic materials and devices need a working knowledge of "near-equilibrium" (also called "linear" or "low-field") transport. The term "working knowledge" means understanding how to use theory in practice. Measurements...
