The article is devoted to analysis of the boundary conditions for the Peltier effect in semiconductors containing potential barriers (p-n junction). The full system of boundary conditions, taking into consideration the presence of nonequilibrium charge carriers, is offered. The surface recombination of charge carriers is taken into account for both the electric current and the propagation of heat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
