Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hybrid lateral thermoelectric temperature modulation element that combines the magneto-thermoelectric effect with lateral thermoelectric conversion derived from an anisotropic laminated structure, and a temperature modulation method using the same.
- Thermoelectric conversion is the direct conversion of thermal energy to electrical energy in a material.
- 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 (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- the kinetic energy of the carriers 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.
- the Peltier effect is a phenomenon in which heat is absorbed and released at the junction surface when different conductors are joined and a voltage and current are applied, which is the opposite phenomenon to the Seebeck effect (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- n-type and p-type thermopiles are arranged in a matrix and connected in series to increase the amount of thermoelectric cooling and heating and to achieve a large surface area, which is the basic conventional structure.
- thermoelectric conversion element has been developed in which the input voltage and current are perpendicular to the output temperature gradient direction.
- the horizontal thermoelectric conversion element does not require a ⁇ -type module structure, and can solve the above problems (see Non-Patent Document 2).
- conventional horizontal thermoelectric conversion elements have a problem in that their thermoelectric cooling/heating performance is still low compared to Peltier elements.
- an artificial multilayer structure in which two types of conductors are alternately and obliquely laminated (hereinafter referred to as an artificially inclined multilayer structure) is known (see Non-Patent Document 2).
- 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 3).
- 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 of inferior thermoelectric temperature modulation performance compared to Peltier 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 temperature modulation performance equivalent to or higher than that of a Peltier element, and a temperature modulation method using the same.
- the inventors of the present invention believed that if a material exhibiting a magneto-thermoelectric effect is incorporated into an artificially inclined multilayer laminate, hybrid thermoelectric conversion would be possible through the magnetic field-independent contribution from the conventional anisotropic multilayer structure and the magnetic field/magnetization-dependent magneto-thermoelectric effect, and that it would be possible to provide a lateral thermoelectric conversion element with thermoelectric temperature modulation performance comparable to that of existing Peltier elements or even higher performance.

That is, when a module using thermoelectric conversion is applied to a place where there is a temperature difference, electric power can be obtained by the electromotive force derived from the Seebeck effect.
- a module using thermoelectric conversion is connected to an external power source and a direct current is applied, a temperature difference occurs due to the absorption and generation of heat derived from the Peltier effect.
- the Seebeck coefficient S represents the thermoelectromotive force per 1 K temperature difference in the Seebeck effect.
- thermoelectric conversion elements are roughly classified into vertical thermoelectric conversion elements and horizontal thermoelectric conversion elements.
- a longitudinal thermoelectric conversion element is one in which the thermoelectric conversion phenomenon occurs in the same direction as the electric current and heat flow
- a transverse thermoelectric conversion element is one in which the thermoelectric conversion phenomenon occurs in perpendicular directions as the electric current and heat flow.
- the magneto-thermoelectric effect is a thermoelectric effect that depends on an external magnetic field or spontaneous magnetization of a magnetic material.

Zhou et al., “Geometrical Optimization and Transverse Thermoelectric Performances of Fe / Bi 2 Te 2.7 Se 0.3 Artificially Tilted Multilayer Thermoelectric Devices” Micromachines 13, 233 (2022).
- thermoelectric material BiSb: Bi88Sb12
- second thermoelectric material BiSbTe: Bi0.2Sb1.8Te3
- t is the thickness ratio of BiSbTe, tBiSbTe /( tBiSb + tBiSbTe ).
- the thermoelectric properties of BiSb and BiSbTe used here are significantly different from each other, as shown in Table 1. This results in a large anisotropy in the thermoelectric properties of the laminate.
- ⁇ , ⁇ , S S , S N , Z S T, and Z N T are electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, Nernst coefficient, figure of merit due to Seebeck effect, and figure of merit due to Nernst effect, respectively.
- the thermal conductivity of the entire artificially inclined multilayer laminate can be calculated from formula (16), and the electrical conductivity ⁇ , which is the reciprocal of the electrical resistivity ⁇ , can be calculated from formula (15). It is only necessary to consider the magnetic field and magnetization dependence of the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, and the formulas themselves are the same.
- the contribution of the magnetic Seebeck-Peltier effect can be taken into account as the magnetic field/magnetization dependency of the Seebeck-Peltier coefficient in the formula as it is, but the contribution of the Nernst-Ettingshausen effect is not included, making it difficult to calculate analytically. Therefore, in calculating the figure of merit of the hybrid transverse thermoelectric temperature modulation element, only S xz needs to be measured directly.

- the electromotive force V is ⁇ 0.4mV, ⁇ 1.0mV, ⁇ 1.65mV, and ⁇ 2.3mV, respectively. In this way, the electromotive force V increases or decreases depending on the applied external magnetic field H.
- FIG. 11D is a diagram showing the temperature difference ⁇ T dependency in the correlation diagram between the external magnetic field H and the electromotive force V in the device of FIG. 11B.
- Fig. 12A shows a perspective view of the configuration when measuring the magnetic field dependence of the thermoelectric power output of a Co2MnGa -based artificially inclined multilayer laminate.
- a heater is provided on the top plane of the artificially inclined multilayer laminate to generate a temperature gradient in the thickness direction.
- a magnetic field H is applied in the short axis direction of the sample perpendicular to the temperature gradient ⁇ T, and the electromotive force VT generated in the long axis direction of the sample perpendicular to the temperature gradient ⁇ T and the magnetic field H is measured.
- the electromotive force V T is -0.70mV, -1.43mV, -2.17mV, -2.91mV, and -3.68mV, respectively. In this way, the electromotive force V T increases or decreases depending on the applied external magnetic field H.
- the dependence of the electromotive force V T on the temperature difference ⁇ T is linear, and the transverse thermoelectric power S xz can be calculated from the slope and the sample size.
- FIG. 12C shows the results of measuring the magnetic field H dependence of the transverse electromotive force V T when the temperature difference ⁇ T of the Co 2 MnGa/Bi 2 Te 3 artificially graded multilayer laminate is changed.
- the temperature difference ⁇ T is 1.7K, 3.5K, 5.2K, 7.0K, and 8.8K
- the electromotive force V T is 0.22mV, 0.44mV, 0.67mV, 0.90mV, and 1.13mV, respectively.
- the electromotive force V T is 0.19mV, 0.39mV, 0.60mV, 0.80mV, and 1.00mV, respectively.
- the electromotive force V T increases or decreases depending on the applied external magnetic field H.
- the dependence of the electromotive force V T on the temperature difference ⁇ T is linear, and the transverse thermoelectric power S xz can be calculated from the slope and the sample size.
- Fig. 12D shows the results of measuring the temperature gradient ⁇ T dependence of the transverse electric field E T of Co 2 MnGa/Bi 0.2 Sb 1.8 Te 3 and Co 2 MnGa/Bi 2 Te 3 artificially graded multilayer laminates.
- the transverse electric field E T obtained from the electromotive force V T when the applied magnetic field H is +0.8T and -0.8T is proportional to the temperature gradient ⁇ T, and its gradient, i.e., the transverse thermoelectric power S T , changes depending on the applied magnetic field H.
- the dimensionless figure of merit ZT was calculated from the transverse thermoelectric power S T obtained from actual measurements and the electrical conductivity ⁇ and thermal conductivity ⁇ obtained by simulation.
- the values were 0.088 and 0.095 for the Co 2 MnGa/Bi 0.2 Sb 1.8 Te 3 artificially graded multilayer laminate when the magnetic field H was +0.8 T and -0.8 T, respectively, and 0.010 and 0.008 for the Co 2 MnGa/Bi 2 Te 3 artificially graded multilayer laminate when the magnetic field H was +0.8 T and -0.8 T, respectively.
- the modulation of the dimensionless figure of merit ZT of lateral thermoelectric conversion in a Co2MnGa -based artificially inclined multilayer laminate by application of an external magnetic field H is several times larger than the highest value (up to 7 ⁇ 10-4 ) of the dimensionless figure of merit ZT due to the anomalous Nernst effect in a single magnetic material reported so far.
- the anomalous Nernst effect into an artificially inclined multilayer stack and configuring it as a hybrid lateral thermoelectric temperature modulation element, it is possible to induce modulation of performance several times greater than the thermoelectric conversion performance of the anomalous Nernst effect alone.
- thermoelectric temperature modulation element of the present invention In the examples shown in Figures 3 to 9, the temperature modulation phenomenon (cooling and heating phenomenon) of the hybrid lateral thermoelectric temperature modulation element of the present invention is directly measured, and the magnetic Peltier effect and normal etching shausen effect are measured through observation of the lock-in thermography image signal.
- the temperature modulation phenomenon of the hybrid horizontal thermoelectric temperature modulation element of the present invention has been proven in the case of the magnetic Peltier effect or the normal Echingshausen effect, but in the case of electron transport phenomena resulting from spontaneous magnetization, it can be proven through the measurement of the temperature modulation phenomenon (cooling/heating phenomenon) of the thermoelectric conversion element by measuring the anisotropic magnetic Peltier effect or the anomalous Echingshausen effect.
- the hybrid horizontal thermoelectric temperature modulation due to the anomalous Echingshausen effect has been proven because the contribution of the anomalous Nernst effect, which is a reciprocal phenomenon, was confirmed in the example shown in Figure 12.
- the hybrid lateral thermoelectric temperature modulation element of the present invention alternately laminates a first thermoelectric material layer exhibiting a magneto-thermoelectric effect and a second thermoelectric material layer, or a first thermoelectric material layer exhibiting a magneto-thermoelectric effect and a second thermoelectric material layer having residual magnetization and capable of driving the magneto-thermoelectric effect in the absence of a magnetic field, so that the temperature modulation phenomenon can be enhanced by an increase in the applied magnetic field or a magneto-thermoelectric effect such as the magnetic Peltier effect or the normal/abnormal Etchingshausen effect in a magnetized state. Since there is no complex three-dimensional joint structure like in conventional Peltier modules, it is effective in improving the durability of the element, reducing costs, and increasing the density of heat absorption and heat generation.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un élément de conversion thermoélectrique horizontal ayant une performance de modulation de température thermoélectrique qui peut être au même niveau que celle obtenue par l'effet Peltier classique, par comparaison. La présente invention comprend : une première électrode et une seconde électrode qui sont disposées de manière à se faire face; et un stratifié qui est maintenu 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, et la valeur d'au moins l'un parmi un coefficient Peltier, une conductivité électrique ou une conductivité thermique est différente entre le premier matériau thermoélectrique et le second matériau thermoélectrique. Au moins l'un des premier et second matériaux thermoélectriques présente un effet thermoélectrique magnétique vertical ou un effet thermoélectrique magnétique horizontal. Les surfaces stratifiées des premières couches et des secondes couches sont inclinées par rapport à la direction dans laquelle la première électrode et la seconde électrode se font face. Par le fait qu'un courant est fourni entre les première et seconde électrodes et qu'un champ magnétique est appliqué dans une direction dans laquelle l'effet thermoélectrique magnétique doit être généré, une différence de température est générée dans une direction perpendiculaire au courant.
