    摘要: The present invention generally provides multistage thermoelectric coolers and methods for their fabrication. For example, in one aspect, a multistage thermoelectric cooler is disclosed that includes at least two cooling stages, each of which comprises a p-type leg portion and an n-type leg portion coupled to form a p-n junction. The p-n junctions of the two stages are thermally and electrically coupled such that at least a portion of a current flowing, during operation of the device, through one stage is coupled to the other. Further, at least one of the p- or n-type leg portions of one stage forms a unitary structure with a corresponding p- or n-type leg portion of the other stage.

    摘要: Thermoelectric materials with high figures of merit, ZT values, are disclosed. In many instances, such materials include nano-sized domains (e.g., nanocrystalline), which are hypothesized to help increase the ZT value of the material (e.g., by increasing phonon scattering due to interfaces at grain boundaries or grain/inclusion boundaries). The ZT value of such materials can be greater than about 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 2 and even higher. Such materials can be manufactured from a thermoelectric starting material by generating nanoparticles therefrom, or mechanically alloyed nanoparticles from elements which can be subsequently consolidated (e.g., via direct current induced hot press) into a new bulk material. Non-limiting examples of starting materials include bismuth, lead, and/or silicon-based materials, which can be alloyed, elemental, and/or doped. Various compositions and methods relating to aspects of nanostructured thermoelectric materials (e.g., modulation doping) are further disclosed.

    摘要: Systems and methods utilizing solar-electrical generators are discussed. Solar-electrical generators are disclosed having a radiation-capture structure and one or more thermoelectric converters. Heat produced in a capture structure via impingement of solar radiation can maintain a portion of a thermoelectric converter at a high temperature, while the use of a low temperature at another portion allows electricity generation. Thus, unlike photovoltaic cells which are generally primarily concerned with optical radiation management, solar thermoelectrics converters are generally concerned with a variety of mechanisms for heat management. Generators can include any number of features including selective radiation surfaces, low emissivity surfaces, flat panel configurations, evacuated environments, and other concepts that can act to provide thermal concentration. Designs utilizing one or more optical concentrators are also disclosed.

    摘要: The present disclosure encompasses heterodimeric compositions for delivering radiolabeled and other ligands to a cell or tissue, and particularly to compositions and methods of use thereof for targeting and imaging cells and tissues expressing both an integrin and gastrin-releasing peptide receptor, in particular prostate cancer cells. The disclosure, therefore, firstly encompasses compositions that can comprise a heterodimeric probe comprising a first peptide domain comprising a moiety capable of selectively binding to an integrin; a second peptide domain comprising a moiety capable of selectively binding to a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor; a linker connecting the first peptide domain and the second peptide domain; and a prosthetic group. The first peptide domain comprises at least one tripeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of arginine-glycine-aspartate, and the second domain can be the peptide bombesin(7-14). The prosthetic group can be the fluoride isotope 18F so that the heterodimeric probe may be detected by positron emission tomography or by single photon emission computed tomography, or a metal radionuclide. The radionuclide may be attached to the probe via a chelating tether.
