Concept study for a high-efficiency nanowire-based thermoelectric
M. F. O'Dwyer, T. E. Humphrey, H. Linke
Materials capable of highly efficient, direct thermal-to-electric energy conversion would have substantial economic potential. Theory predicts that thermoelectric efficiencies appr…

Efficiency in nanostructured thermionic and thermoelectric devices
M. F. O'Dwyer, T. E. Humphrey, R. A. Lewis +1
Advances in solid-state device design now allow the spectrum of transmitted electrons in thermionic and thermoelectric devices to be engineered in ways that were not previously pos…

A new comparison between solid-state thermionics and thermoelectrics
T. E. Humphrey, M. F. O'Dwyer
It is shown that equations for electrical current in solid-state thermionic and thermoelectric devices converge for devices with a width equal to the mean free path of electrons, y…
