From the author: The development of thermoelectric (TE) materials and device structures is essential to the performance of many commercial and military electronic systems. Tactical infrared (IR) imaging sensors, for example, typically require some form of cooling to optimize performance and range without compromising on size, weight and power. The dark current for these imaging sensors increases with wavelength thus adding to the cooling requirement. Novel approaches are being developed to integrate low dimensional materials that exhibit enhanced TE properties with IR focal plane array (FPA) manufacturing processes. These types of approaches could significantly increase the potential of future fielded soldier imaging systems.
