In this Letter, we show thermoelectric conversion efficiency is \emph{exactly} determined by \emph{three} independent material parameters $Z_{\rm gen}$, $\tau$, and $\beta$. Each parameter is a figure of merit hence improving $\tau$ or…

We examine the temperature dependence of thermopower in the single band Hubbard model using dynamical mean-field theory. The strong Coulomb interaction brings about the coherent-to-incoherent crossover as temperature increases. As a result,…

A sudden change in the macroscopic parameters of a system will cause it to depart from equilibrium. In this paper we study how a lack of change can also inform of such a departure, and allow for work extraction. Potential events that are…
It is widely believed that temperature gradient does not induce electric field in the superconductor and consequently that thermoelectric effects do not exist, or are negligible in these materials. This statement is correct only as far as…
