Abstract

900,774. Thermo-electric arrangements. SIEMENS & HALSKE A.G. Feb. 18, 1959 [Feb. 19, 1958], No. 5631/59. Class 37. At least one of the members of a thermoelectric arrangement consists of particles of doped semi - conductor material separated by a normally insulating material, the spacing between the particles being small so that the insulating material becomes conductive by tunnel effect whereby the Lorenz number (i.e. ratio of heat conductivity to electrical conductivity) of the whole substance is low compared to the Lorenz number of the particle material. The insulating material may consist of organic varnishes, synthetic materials, glass or ceramic materials and the semi-conductor of doped A 3 B 5 compounds, silicon, silicon-carbide or germanium and the doping impurity of boron or antimony. The required distribution of the particles may be obtained by means of supersonic waves electrophoresis, or by providing chemical compounds such as oxides, fluorides, hydrides, carbides and nitrides on the surfaces of the particles and sintering under pressure. A further reduction in the Lorenz number can be achieved by embedding gas bubbles in the suspension. The particles may be 1 Á in size and the spacing between 5 and 100 Š. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for employing the Peltier effect comprising, a pair of metal elements 12 separated by an element 13 of material consisting of the separated semiconductor particles as described above.
