<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The thermo electric element has a thermocouple and a pn-transition (3). The thermocouple of a material (1) is provided with a positive thermoelectric coefficient and another material (2) with a negative thermoelectric coefficient. The former material is contacted with the p side (4) of the pn transition over a conductor (6) and the latter material is contacted with the n side (5) of the pn transition over the conductor (7). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for manufacturing a thermo electric element. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Thermo electric element for a thermo electric generator and a thermo electric cooler (all claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The thermo electric element has a thermocouple and a pn-transition, and thus ensures to attain a high power density and efficiency of the thermo electric element. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view of a thermo electric element with a thermocouple. 1,2 : Materials 3 : Pn-transition 4 : P side 5 : N side 6,7 : Conductors.</p> |
