Abstract
Thermal processes in SmS/Sm1-xGdxS heterostructures are investigated. It is noted that cooling is observed on the Sm1-xGdxS side when these heterostructures are heated. Cooling value is less than that of previously observed in SmS, but the stability is higher. It is shown that the main factor influencing the cooling effect is the collective casting of electrons into the conduction band from impurity levels. There are two multidirectional electron flows as a result of this fact - due to the thermovoltaic effect and due to the Seebeck effect.
