Goldsmid H. J. SYNTHETIC TRANSVERSE THERMOELEMENTS WITH A POROUS COMPONENT. University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. 2008, No. 1.- p.7-12.
It is possible to exploit the anisotropy of the Seebeck coefficient in a transverse thermoelement in which the flows of heat and electricity are perpendicular to one another. However, it does not seem that any single-phase material has properties that can be utilised effectively in this way. On the other hand, substantial transverse thermoelectric effects can be observed in a two-phase layered material. Previous studies have been devoted to composites made from a semiconductor and either a metal or semimetal. H

Computer model of a double-layer thermoelement with periodically profiled surface taking into account temperature dependence of kinetic coefficients of thermoelectric materials has been developed. The temperature, current density and electric potential distribution in thermoelement working medium has been found. Optimization of thermoelement geometry

Institute of Thermoelectricity, Chernivtsi, Ukraine; No.3. - p.5-12.
Physical model of cooling thermoelement with a developed heat exchange system is described. Theory of calculation and computer methods to seek for optimal functions of the legs material inhomogeneity combined with a search for optimal parameters (electric current density, heat consumption) under which thermodynamic efficiency of power conversion will be maximum are discussed. Optimal inhomogeneity distribution for Bi₂Te₃ based material is given. Rational use of such power converters has been shown to

Vining C.B. THE LIMITED ROLE FOR THERMOELECTRICS IN THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
ZT Services; No.4. - p.7-19.
The climate crisis presents unique and largely unprecedented social, economic, political and technical challenges. The technical challenges, though enormous, may prove the most tractable of all. Among the technical challenges is the development of energy technologies with much reduced environmental impact This note provides an overview of thermoelectric technology, a solid state 'heat engine' capable of converting heat to electricity or alternatively converting electricity into cooling. Such an overview is timely because thermoelectric technology has made signif
