Thermionic Emission Cooling in Single Barrier Heterostructures
Abstract
Nonisothermal transport in InGaAsP-based heterostructure integrated thermionic coolers is investigated experimentally. Cooling on the order of a degree over 1 mm thick barriers has been observed. This method can be used to enhance thermoelectric properties of semiconductors beyond what can be achieved with the conventional Peltier effect.
