Effective Thermoelectric Coefficients for an Exactly Solvable Two-Dimensional Three-Phase Composite
type: item
description: Effective thermoelectric coefficients are found for a two-dimensional three-phase macroscopically disordered medium. To obtain such a value, the method of sequential averaging is used, which allows the method of isomorphism to be used for the two-phased variant. Also here is given a comparison with the mean-field approximation iddle field. It has been shown that the conditions that determine exact values ​​of the effective kinetic coefficients of D – media are insufficient for three-phase media.

Theory of Dipole-Exchange Spin Waves in a Ferromagnetic Nanotube in the Presence of a Thermoelectrically Induced Spin-Transfer Torque
type: item
description: A theoretical study of dipole–exchange spin waves in a conducting ferromagnetic nanotube subjected to a longitudinal temperature gradient is presented. The temperature gradient via the Seebeck effect generates an electric current, which becomes spin-polarized in the ferromagnet and gives rise to a spin-transfer torque acting on the magnetization. The magnetization dynamics is described within the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert framework augmented by the Zhang–Li torque terms corresponding to adiabatic and nonadiabatic spin transport. An analytical dispersion relation for spin waves in a thin-walled nanotube with uniaxial anisotropy is derived, taking into account both exchange and dipolar interactions. It is shown that the thermoelectrically induced spin-polarized current leads to a Doppler-like shift of the spin-wave spectrum and modifies the effective damping. A critical temperature gradient is obtained at which the nonadiabatic torque compensates the intrinsic Gilbert damping, resulting in the onset of spin wave generation. Numerical estimates for Permalloy nanotubes demonstrate that the effect can be significant for experimentally accessible parameters. The results reveal a direct coupling between thermoelectric charge transport and spin-wave dynamics in curved magnetic nanostructures, highlighting the potential of ferromagnetic nanotubes as elements of spin-caloritronic and thermoelectric devices.

Thermoelectric Power Factor of Flat-Layer Semiconductor Structures
type: item
description: The influence of nanostructuring on the thermoelectric power factor of flat-layer semiconductor structures is studied in the quasi-classical one-miniband approximation. The change in the pulse relaxation time of current carriers in 2D structures as compared to their 3D counterparts in the case of mixed scattering of the pulse by acoustic phonons and point defects in the case of arbitrary statistics is taken into consideration. The analytical dependence of the thermoelectric power factor on the chemical potential and the width of the conduction miniband in the direction of the superlattice axis is established.

Research on a New Semiconductor Thermoelectric Material n-Zr1-xNbxNiSn. II. Property Modeling
type: item
description: The electronic structure, thermodynamic, structural, energy, and electrokinetic properties of the semiconductor thermoelectric material Zr1-xNbxNiSn were modeled using density functional theory. The nature of the generated energy states and mechanisms of electrical conductivity were analyzed. It is shown that when Nb atoms are introduced into the structure of the ZrNiSn compound in varying ratios, two processes occur simultaneously: Zr atoms are substituted by Nb atoms, resulting in a substitutional solid solution, and Nb atoms also occupy the tetrahedral voids within the structure, leading to the formation of an inclusion solid solution. Structural changes create two types of donor defects in Zr1-xNbxNiSn, along with their corresponding energy states, which are essential for achieving maximum efficiency in converting thermal energy to electrical energy. Modeling of thermoelectric properties showed that the semiconductor solid solution of Zr1-xNbxNiSn is a promising thermoelectric material.

Research on Heat Exchange in Biomedical Tubes for Thermoelectric Temperature Control of Irrigation Fluid Flow
type: item
description: The article investigates the problem of steady-state heat transfer in a thin-walled cylindrical tube, along which a liquid moves under conditions of laminar hydraulically stabilized flow. An analytical solution for the temperature distribution in the liquid and the tube material is obtained using a number of Bessel functions. The conditions of a constant temperature of the tube wall and the absence of internal heat sources are considered. Numerical modeling of the temperature field is carried out, which made it possible to visualize the two-dimensional and three-dimensional temperature distribution. It is shown that the cooling of the liquid occurs mainly due to convective heat exchange with the cooled tube wall. The average temperature of the liquid at the outlet, the total heat flux and the effective heat transfer coefficient are determined. The results obtained have applied value for medical and technical thermoelectric cooling systems, in particular where thin silicone biomedical tubes are used. References 9, Fig. 6.
