説明:
(abstract)We phenomenologically formulate and experimentally observe an adiabatic transverse thermoelectric conversion enhanced by a heat current re-orientation in artificially tilted multilayers (ATMLs). By alternately stacking two materials with different thermal conductivities and rotating its multilayered structure with respect to a longitudinal temperature gradient, off-diagonal components in the thermal conductivity tensor are induced. This off-diagonal thermal conduction (ODTC) generates a finite transverse temperature gradient and Seebeck-effect-induced thermopower in the adiabatic condition, which is superposed on the isothermal transverse thermopower driven by the off-diagonal Seebeck effect. In this study, we calculate and observe the two-dimensional temperature distribution and the resultant transverse thermoelectric conversion in ATMLs comprising thermoelectric Co2MnGa Heusler alloys and Bi2-aSbaTe3 compounds. By changing the tilt angle from 0° to 90°, the transverse temperature gradient obviously appeared in the middle angles and the transverse thermopower increases up to -121.9 μV/K in Co2MnGa/Bi0.2Sb1.8Te3-based ATML at the tilt angle of 45° whereas the isothermal contribution is estimated to be -82.6 μV/K from the analytical calculation. This hybrid action derived from ODTC results in the significant enhancement of the maximum reduced conversion efficiency from 3.1% to 8.1% in calculation and from 2.3% to 4.4% in experiment.
