Enhancement of thermoelectric figure of merit by using nonequilibrium state between electrons and phonons

We investigated the thermoelectric properties of a metal/semiconductor multilayer by using a simple parabolic band model and two-temperature model. The multilayer enables not only reducing thermal conductivity but also enhancing the power factor by using a nonequilibrium state between electrons and...
