Year: 2013

Type: editorial

Abstract: Yazawa and Shakouri [J. Appl. Phys. 111, 024509 (2012)] calculated the maximum power output of a thermoelectric power generation with asymmetric thermal contacts. However, the main results obtained are not identical with those given in textbooks, and consequently, some problems deserve some attention.
