Abstract
We suggest a new approach to theory of contact thermoelectric cooling (Peltier effect). The metal–metal, metal–n-type semiconductor, metal–p-type semiconductor, p–n junction contacts are analyzed. Both degenerate and nondegenerate electron and hole gases are considered. The role of recombination in the contact cooling effect is discussed for the first time.
