From heat to spin to electricity: Understanding spin transport in thermoelectric devices
E-Mail IMAGE: Thermoelectric materials will allow the efficient conversion of waste industrial heat into electricity. But to create effective thermoelectric materials, their underlying physics must be well understood. view more Credit: Macrovector on Freepik Thermoelectric materials, which can generate an electric voltage in the presence of a temperature difference, are currently an area of intense research; thermoelectric energy harvesting technology is among our best shots at greatly reducing the use of fossil fuels and helping prevent a worldwide energy crisis. However, there a...
