Abstract
A thermoelectric structure including a thermoelectric material having a thickness less than 50 nm and a semi-insulating material in electrical contact with the thermoelectric material. The thermoelectric material and the semi-insulating materials have an equilibrium Fermi level, across a junction between the thermoelectric material and the semi-insulating material, which exists in a conduction band or a valence band of the thermoelectric material. The thermoelectric structure is for thermoelectric cooling and thermoelectric power generation.
