Abstract
A miniature quantum well thermoelectric device. The device includes a number of quantum well n-legs and a number of quantum well p-legs. Each of the p-legs are alternately electrically connected in series with each of the n-legs at locations that are thermal communication with a cold side and a hot side. The device can be adapted to function as a cooler and it can be adapted to function as an electric power generator. In a preferred embodiment the p-legs and said n-legs are configured generally radially between the hot side and the cold side. In this preferred embodiments each of the n-legs has at least 600 n-type layers with each n-type layer separated from other n-type layers by an insulating layer and each of the p-legs has at least 600 p-type layers with each p-type layer separated from other p-type layers by an insulating layer.
