LOGVINOV, G.N.; RIO VALDES, José Luis del  and  GUREVICH, Yu. G.. Teoría lineal del enfriamiento termoeléctrico de Peltier. Superf. vacío [online]. 2005, vol.18, n.2, pp.26-29. ISSN 1665-3521.

A new model of thermoelectric cooling (the Peltier’s effect) on the junction of two semiconductors is suggested. This theory is based on analysis of the Le Chatelier-Braun thermodynamic principle and the energy balance equation in a structure created from two semiconductors across which an electric current runs. The temperature distributions illustrating the Peltier’s effect are obtained.

Keywords : Thermoelectric cooling; Peltier’s effect.
