semiconductor physics - How exactly does the Peltier effect work ...
2018年4月24日 · Here is my understanding of the Peltier effect, obviously, grossly simplified. I'll be happy to be corrected. When electrons cross a junction from a material with a lower …
How do charge carriers move thermal energy? (Peltier effect)
2014年10月27日 · Due to the Peltier effect, a cooling action happens in two places: once where the n-type semiconductor connects to the metal (where current is going into the metal, i.e., …
thermodynamics - Seebeck effect or Peltier effect for optimal ...
The Peltier effect requires two dissimilar materials, whereas the Seebeck effect does not have this requirement. One may argue that it's possible to think about the Thomson effect as a spatially …
Peltier Effect in Nature? - Physics Stack Exchange
2020年9月5日 · The Peltier effect could be small, of course, since it is proportional to Seebeck coefficient and the absolute temperature, nonetheless it should still be non zero. Regarding …
solid state physics - What causes the peltier effect between 2 …
2017年11月12日 · In the Peltier effect, current through a 2-metal junction will cause an increase or decrease in temperature as electrons traveling through 1 metal are higher in energy than …
Minimal temperature achievable by vanilla Peltier element?
To sound more scientific, I've found this relatively new paper (also available here)where Peltier effect is discussed for some rather standard system and where curves at room and liquid …
semiconductor physics - Seebeck and Peltier effect vs Thomson …
2022年3月17日 · The Peltier effect is quite different, it appears when there are dissimilar materials (or a single inhomogeneous material, though this bears another name, but it is exactly the …
Which explanation of the Seebeck effect is correct?
2019年1月3日 · The Seebeck effect can indeed occur in a single material, under which a temperature gradient is established. This will give rise to a potential difference, creating a …
Which thermoelectric effect is better? - Physics Stack Exchange
If you're looking to produce power from a temperature differential, go with a device optimized for the Seebeck effect. Peltier and Seebeck effects are essentially the same thing, or rather flip …
Understanding Peltier refrigeration - Physics Stack Exchange
Problem 1: according to my professor, Peltier refrigeration is a very localized phenomenon which only occurs in the junction between conductors A and B, but my explanation does not mention …
