A research team proposes the direction for designing highly efficient spin Seebeck-based thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectric (TE) conversion offers a carbon-free power generation from geothermal, ...

The Seebeck effect describes the generation of an electric potential in a conducting solid exposed to a temperature gradient. In most cases, it is dominated by an energy-dependent electronic density ...

Why fast-response, non-contact temperature sensing is needed in biomedical research. How thin, transparent film is used to create the Seebeck effect to measure temperature. The instrumentation ...

A research team has demonstrated that a simple stack of thermoelectric and magnetic material layers can exhibit a substantially larger transverse thermoelectric effect -- energy conversion between ...

Ferrimagnets are a special type of magnet where different atoms' magnetic moments partially cancel each other out, creating a rich internal structure. They are widely used in technologies from magneto ...

[Daniel Salião Ferreira] may or may not be a Game of Thrones fan, but he does have a fun demo of the Seebeck effect in the form of a flashlight powered by fire and ice. The basic idea is to use a ...

Thermoelectric (TE) conversion offers carbon-free power generation from geothermal, waste, body or solar heat, and shows promise to be the next-generation energy conversion technology. At the core of ...
