Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hybrid lateral thermoelectric power generation element that combines the magneto-thermoelectric effect with lateral thermoelectric conversion derived from an anisotropic laminated structure, and a power generation method using the same.
- Thermoelectric conversion is the phenomenon of direct conversion of thermal energy to electrical energy within a material.
- a temperature difference is applied to a thermoelectric material, the kinetic energy of the carriers (electrons and holes) is greater at the high temperature end, so they are biased toward the low temperature end due to thermal diffusion, generating a potential difference between both ends of the thermoelectric material.
- This is called the Seebeck effect, and is used in thermocouples and thermoelectric power generation.
- a potential difference is applied to a thermoelectric material by an external power source, a temperature difference can be generated across both ends of the thermoelectric material. This is called the Peltier effect, and thermoelectric cooling and temperature modulation are achieved.
- thermoelectric conversion module that uses the Seebeck effect is to increase voltage and power by arranging n-type and p-type thermopiles in a matrix and connecting them in series.
- the Seebeck effect generates an electric field parallel to the temperature gradient, it entails problems such as mechanical fragility due to the large number of electrical junctions, output loss due to contact resistance, a complex manufacturing process for thermoelectric conversion modules, and difficulty in increasing the area.
- a horizontal thermoelectric conversion element has been developed that orthogonally connects the output voltage and current to the direction of the temperature difference (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- thermoelectric conversion element in addition to the normal or anomalous Nernst effect, an artificial multilayer structure in which two types of conductors are alternately and obliquely stacked (hereinafter referred to as an artificially inclined multilayer structure) is known (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- an artificially graded multilayer laminate even if each conductor exhibits isotropic conduction characteristics, anisotropic conduction of conduction electrons and holes occurs, and the off-diagonal terms of the thermoelectric transport tensor become finite, so that it functions as a lateral thermoelectric conversion (see Non-Patent Document 2).
- Patent Document 1 As a multilayer structure for thermoelectric conversion, for example, a multilayer structure of Bi and metal ( Bi2Te3 ) is known, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 (see paragraph [0081]).
- Patent Document 2 discloses a graded superlattice structure (InAs/GaSb) that drives lateral thermoelectric power generation, and lists the Nernst-Ettingshausen effect and a composite laminate device as background art (see paragraph [0008]).
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 make no mention of hybridizing the magneto-thermoelectric effect originating from magnetism in an artificially inclined multilayer laminate.
- thermoelectric conversion elements had the problem that their thermoelectric power generation performance was inferior to that of Seebeck elements, which are common thermoelectric elements.
- the present invention aims to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above, and to provide a horizontal thermoelectric conversion element that has thermoelectric power generation performance equivalent to or higher than that of a Seebeck element, and a power generation method using the same.
- thermoelectric conversion would be possible using a contribution independent of the magnetic field and magnetization derived from the conventional anisotropic multilayer structure and a magneto-thermoelectric effect dependent on the magnetic field and magnetization, and that it would be possible to provide a lateral thermoelectric conversion element with thermoelectric power generation performance comparable to or even higher than that of the Seebeck effect.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un élément de conversion thermoélectrique transversal ayant une performance de production d'énergie thermoélectrique comparable ou supérieure à celle de l'effet Seebeck. L'élément de conversion thermoélectrique transversal comprend : une première électrode et une seconde électrode qui sont opposées l'une à l'autre ; et un stratifié qui est pris en sandwich entre les première et seconde électrodes et qui est électriquement connecté à la fois aux première et seconde électrodes. Le stratifié a une structure dans laquelle des couches d'un premier matériau thermoélectrique et des couches d'un second matériau thermoélectrique sont stratifiées en alternance. Le premier matériau thermoélectrique et le second matériau thermoélectrique ont des valeurs différentes de coefficient Seebeck, de conductivité électrique et/ou de conductivité thermique. Au moins l'un des premier et second matériaux thermoélectriques présente un effet magnéto-thermoélectrique longitudinal ou un effet magnéto-thermoélectrique transversal. Des surfaces stratifiées des premières couches et des secondes couches sont inclinées par rapport à une direction dans laquelle la première électrode et la seconde électrode sont opposées l'une à l'autre. Une différence de potentiel est générée entre les première et seconde électrodes en raison d'une différence de température dans une direction perpendiculaire à la direction d'opposition dans l'élément de conversion thermoélectrique transversal et d'un champ magnétique appliqué dans une direction dans laquelle l'effet magnéto-thermoélectrique est généré.
