Linear and nonlinear mesoscopic thermoelectric transport with coupling with heat baths

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: Decades of research on thermoelectrics stimulated by the fact that nano- and meso-scale thermoelectric transport could yield higher energy conversion efficiency and output power has recently uncovered a new direction on inelastic thermoelectric effects. We introduce the history, motivation, and perspectives on mesoscopic inelastic thermoelectric effects.
