The ac Harman method has been used for the direct estimation of dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit (zT) through ac/dc resistance measurements. However, accurate zT estimation with a four-probe configuration is difficult owing to…

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…

Increasing the maximum cooling effect of a Peltier cooler can be achieved through materials and device design. The use of inhomogeneous, FGM (functionally graded materials) may be adopted in order to increase maximum cooling without…

Temperature dependences of thermoelectric power S(T) at $T>T_c$ of the Hg-based high temperature superconductors Hg$_{1-x}$R$_x$Ba$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{8+\delta}$ (R=Re, Pb) have been analyzed with accounting for strong scattering of charge…

The switching of the magnetization configurations of giant magnetoresistance multilayer stacks not only changes the electric and thermal conductivities, but also the thermopower. We study the magnetotransport and the magneto-thermoelectric…

The role of dimensionality on the electronic performance of thermoelectric devices is clarified using the Landauer formalism, which shows that the thermoelectric coefficients are related to the transmission, T(E), and how the conducing…

We predict an enormous order-dependent quantum enhancement of thermoelectric effects in the vicinity of a higher-order `supernode' in the transmission spectrum of a nanoscale junction. Single-molecule junctions based on 3,3'-biphenyl and…

It is demonstrated that the transition temperature (Tc) of high-Tc superconductors is determined by their layered crystal structure, bond lengths, valency properties of the ions, and Coulomb coupling between electronic bands in adjacent,…

We introduce a simple but efficient electronic fitness function (EFF) that describes the electronic aspect of the thermoelectric performance. This EFF finds materials that overcome the inverse relationship between $\sigma$ and $S$ based on…

Thermoelectric (TE) materials seamlessly convert thermal into electrical energy and vice versa, making them promising for applications such as power generation or cooling. Although historically the TE effect was first discovered in metals,…

In order to establish better performance compromises between the process functionals of a heat engine, in the context of finite time thermodynamics (FTT), we propose some generalizations for the well known Efficient Power function through…

The evaluation of thermoelectric conversion efficiency remains challenging owing to the lack of internationally standardized measurement protocols. Commonly used techniques -- including the heat flow, guarded heater, and AC Harman methods…

Efficiency of thermoelectric materials is characterized by the figure of merit Z. Z has been believed to be a peculiar material constant. However, the accurate measurements in the present work reveal that Z has large size dependence and a…
