Thermodynamic performance of near-field electroluminescence and negative electroluminescent refrigeration systems
Electroluminescent (EL) and negative electroluminescent (NEL) devices are radiative thermoelectric energy converters that use electric power for refrigeration. For the EL system, we apply a forward bias to the emitter that we want to cool, whereas a reverse bias voltage is applied to the hot absorbe...
