    Thermoelectric Properties of Two Component Composites

    An explicit expression for the bulk effective thermoelectric coefficient αe of a two component composite is derived. This coefficient is found to depend only on the bulk effective electric conductivity σe and the...

    Bulk Effective Moduli: Their Calculation and Usage for Describing Physical Properties of Composite Media

    While not telling the whole story, the representation of a composite medium by a homogeneous effective medium is often an excellent approximation for describing its macroscopic physical properties. Modern meth...

    Composite Thermoelectrics - Exact Results and Calculational Methods

    A theoretical study of composite thermoelectric media has resulted in the development of a number of simple approximations, as well as some exact results. The latter include exact upper and lower bounds on the...

    Enhancement of Power Factor in A Thermoelectric Composite With A Periodic Microstructure

    The thermoelectric power factor has been calculated for a two-constituent composite medium, where one constituent is a “high quality thermoelectric” while the other constituent is a “benign metal”, with large ...
