.... The scheme is applied to study the thermal conductivity of silicon germanium (Si–Ge) nanocomposites, which are of great interest for high-efficiency thermoelectric material development. The Monte Carlo simulation was first validated by successfully reproducing the results of (two-dimensional) nanowire...

...Y. Sungtaek Ju Pulsed thermoelectric cooling is an attractive approach for the site specific thermal management of infrared sensors and other low-heat flux devices. Intense Joule heating caused by electrical interface resistance, however, can severely degrade pulsed cooling performance. Numerical...

...Andrew Miner The compatibility of low-dimensional thermoelectric materials in forms such as thin films and nanowires for use in thermoelectric coolers is examined. First-order thermoelectric theory predicts that the cold and hot junction temperatures of a thermoelectric circuit are governed solely...

... will provide an assessment of the potential for module cooling enhancement with thermoelectric coolers. A brief background discussion of thermoelectric cooling is provided citing some of the early history of thermoelectrics as well as more recent developments from the literature. An example analyzing cooling...
