Description:
Author(s): Seungha Shin, Corey Melnick, and Massoud Kaviany We show that hot phonons emitted in energy conversion or resistive processes can be converted to electric potential in heterobarrier structures. Using phonon and electron interaction kinetics and self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo, we find the favorable conditions for unassisted absorption of hot ... [Phys. Rev.
