Abstract:Nontraditional approach to explain the thermoelectric cooling is suggested . It is based on the Le ChatelierBraun thermodynamic principle. New effect of cooling and heating of junction of two materials (barrierless thermoelectric cooling) is theoretically predicted, and this effect is different from the Peltier effect (barrier thermoelectric cooling). The suggested thermoelectric effect must be displayed always at the finite values of the junction surface heat conductivity η. Barrierless thermoelectric effect … Show more
