A model of thermionic heat engine with the energy selective electron mechanism is studied.
Analytical expressions of the power output and efficiency of this device are derived at low …

We report on the thermoelectric characteristics of p-type silicon nanowires (NWs) on plastics
in the relatively low temperature regime below 47 C, and for temperature differences of less …

Theoretical calculation based on density functional theory (DFT) and local density
approximation (LDA) with Hubbard parameters has been carried out in studying defect …

Divergence of density of state near Fermi level at low dimensional systems helps to increase
efficiency of thermoelectric materials. It is shown here two contacting nanowires in the …

Nowadays, the use of thermoelectric semiconductor devices are limited by their low
efficiencies. Therefore, there is a huge amount of research effort to get high thermoelectric …
