Influence of dimensionality on thermoelectric device performance
Influence of dimensionality on thermoelectric device performance
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 conducting channels, M(E), are distributed in energy. The Landauer formalism applies from the ballistic to diffusive limits and …
