A NIMS research team has demonstrated for the first time ever that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric ...

Titanium engineering boosts thin-film thermoelectric performance by 250 times, offering new possibilities for efficient ...

An unusual thermoelectric effect has been observed in the semiconductor tellurium by RIKEN physicists for the first time. This demonstration points to the potential of similar materials to be used in ...

Thermoelectric conversion devices offer a promising route for sustainable heat-to-energy conversion. They are particularly attractive for recovering energy from waste heat, such as that produced by ...

A new quantum transport theory reveals how femtosecond time scale thermoelectric fluctuations influence energy control at the nanoscale. The University of Jyväskylä, Finland, has contributed to the ...

A research team has demonstrated that an iron-based amorphous alloy, widely used as a soft magnetic material in transformers and motors, can be transformed into a 'transverse' thermoelectric ...

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...

For the first time in the world, a joint research team from NIMS, Nagoya University and The University of Tokyo has successfully observed the transverse Thomson effect—a phenomenon in which metals or ...

In this study, we explore the thermoelectric specifications of the newly proposed 8–16–4 graphyne lattice (GY) by the tight-binding model (TBM) in combination with Green’s function formalism (GFF).

Researchers from Tokyo University of Science and Saitama University achieved the transverse thermoelectric effect (TTE) in the semimetal tungsten disilicide (WSi 2). Previous research had demonstrated ...
