Linear and nonlinear mesoscopic thermoelectric transport with coupling with heat baths

Publication date: Available online 25 August 2016 Source:Comptes Rendus Physique Author(s): Jian-Hua Jiang, Yoseph Imry 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.
