Hot Electron Effects on Thermionic Emission Cooling in Heterostructures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The energy conversion between electrons and phonons in a heterostructure is studied for thermionic cooling by using the hot electron approximation. Calculations show that the energy exchange rate between electrons and phonons should be small for a net cooling power, and the layer length should be in the range of submicron for effective cooling.
