Termosähköiset
Termosähköiset refers to phenomena and devices related to the direct conversion between heat and electricity. The primary effect governing this is the Seebeck effect, where a temperature difference across a junction of two dissimilar conductors or semiconductors produces a voltage. Conversely, the Peltier effect describes the heating or cooling that occurs at a junction when an electric current is passed through it. These effects are fundamental to understanding how thermoelectric materials function.
Thermoelectric devices, such as thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and thermoelectric coolers (TECs), utilize these principles. TEGs convert
The efficiency of thermoelectric materials is a critical factor in the performance of these devices. Material
