Theoretical analysis of Nernst generation system at low temperature using Bi₂Te₃

Abstract

We simulate Nernst generation system with using the theory on thermo-electro-magnetic phenomena and the measured data of sintered Bi₂Te₃ semiconductors. Now, this is the one-dimensional analysis. As a result, it was shown that the performance of Nernst generation system was well improved by using the thermal difference at low temperature near liquid nitrogen temperature.
