摘要
Thermoelectric cooling systems are disclosed that utilize the Thomson effect. The disclosed systems can be used, for example, in cryogenic applications. In one aspect, a system is provided for thermoelectric cooling. The system comprises a pair of semiconductor elements, a cold plate and a hot plate. The pair of semiconductor elements comprises a P-type semiconductor element having a first carrier concentration and an N-type semiconductor element having a second carrier concentration. The first carrier concentration is functionally graded over the P-type semiconductor element and the second carrier concentration is functionally graded over the N-type semiconductor element. Each semiconductor element has a cold end and a hot end. The cold plate is thermally coupled to the cold ends of the P-type semiconductor elements and the N-type semiconductor element. The hot plate is thermally coupled to the hot ends of the P-type semiconductor element and the N-type semiconductor element.
