Journal ArticleDOI
An inconvenient truth about thermoelectrics.
TL;DR: Despite recent advances, thermoelectric energy conversion will never be as efficient as steam engines, which meansThermoelectrics will remain limited to applications served poorly or not at all by existing technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for the high‐temperature transport properties of heavily doped n‐type silicon‐germanium alloys
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the high-temperature transport properties of large-grain-size, heavily doped n-type silicon-germanium alloys is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermoelectric properties of pressure-sintered Si0.8Ge0.2 thermoelectric alloys
TL;DR: In this article, the thermoelectric properties of 28 sintered Si(0.8)Ge (0.2) alloys, heavily doped with either B or P and prepared from powders with median particle sizes ranging from about 1 to over 100 microns, have been determined from 300 to 1300 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiconductors are cool.
TL;DR: In the 1950s there were hopes that semiconductor thermocouples would replace mechanical refrigerators, just as semiconductor transistors supplanted vacuum tubes, but new materials may bring that goal a bit closer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conductivity of epitaxial layers of dilute SiGe alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal conductivities of micron-thick epitaxial layers of dilute SiGe alloys were measured in the temperature range $297lTl550\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$ using time-domain thermoreflectance.
