Description

Die intermetallischen Verbindungen gewisser binärer Legierungssysteme zeigen bekanntlich extrem hohe differentielle Thermokräfte und große Werte des spezifischen elektrischen Widerstandes. Die diesbezüglichen Untersuchungen des Erfinders ließen erkennen, daß das elektrische Verhalten dieser Verbindungen dem eines Eigenhalbleiters sehr ähnlich ist. Durch Abweichungen von der Stöchiometrie oder geeignete Zusätze gelingt es, Störstellenhalbleiter herzustellen, deren elektrische Leitfähigkeit gegenüber den intermetallischen Verbindungen erheblich vergrößert ist, ohne daß die differentielle Thermokraft entsprechend stark verändert wird. Daraus resultiert eine Verbesserung der effektiven (d.h. auf normale Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenzsche Zahl bezogenen) Thermokraft des Materials.The intermetallic compounds of certain binary alloy systems are known to show extremely high differential thermal forces and large values of the specific electrical resistance. The inventor’s related investigations failed recognize that the electrical behavior of these compounds is that of an intrinsic semiconductor is very similar. By deviations from the stoichiometry or suitable additives succeeds in producing impurity semiconductors, their electrical conductivity compared to the intermetallic compounds is significantly increased without the differential thermopower is changed accordingly. This results an improvement in the effective (i.e. normal Wiedemann-Franz-Lorenz number related) thermal power of the material.

Die intermetallischen Verbindungen mit halbleiterähnlichem Verhalten, insbesondere mit Abweichungen von der stöchiometrischen Zusammensetzung oder mit geeigneten Zusätzen von übergangsmetallen (Fe, Co oder Ni) werden erfindungsgemäß zur Herstellung von Thermoelementen, insbesondere für die elektrothermische Kühlung, verwandt. So konnte vom Erfinder z. B. bei einer Cadmium-Antimon-Legierung mit einem Antimongehalt zwischen 48 und 54 Gewichtsprozent und bis zu 2 Gewichtsprozent Nickel gegen eine Wismut-Antimon-Legierung eine effektiveThermokraft von 148 pV/Grad gemessen werden. Damit kann man bei verschwindendem Kontaktwiderstand der Lötstellen eine Abkühlung um 27° C erreichen, wodurch die Methode der elektrothermischen Kälteerzeugung erstmals praktischen Anforderungen genügt.The intermetallic compounds with semiconductor-like behavior, in particular with deviations from the stoichiometric composition or with suitable additions of transition metals (Fe, Co or Ni) are made according to the invention for the production of thermocouples, especially for electrothermal cooling, related. So could the inventor z. B. in a cadmium-antimony alloy with a Antimony content between 48 and 54 percent by weight and up to 2 percent by weight nickel an effective thermal force of 148 pV / degree was measured against a bismuth-antimony alloy will. With this you can create a Cooling to reach 27 ° C, creating the method of electrothermal refrigeration for the first time practical requirements are sufficient.

Die Figur zeigt schematisch ein Thermoelement gemäß der Erfindung. Der Schenkel 1 besteht aus einer Antimon-Cadmium-Legierung, der Schenkel 2 aus einer Wismut-Antimon-Legierung. Zwischen beiden befindet sich zur Aufnahme der Kälteleistung eine metallische Scheibe von geringer absoluter Thermokraft, z. B. Kupfer.The figure shows schematically a thermocouple according to the invention. The leg 1 consists of an antimony-cadmium alloy, the leg 2 of one Bismuth-antimony alloy. Between the two is to take up the cooling capacity a metallic disc of low absolute thermopower, e.g. B. Copper.
