  • Abstract
    Exact numerical calculations of the thermionic cooling efficiency of single-barrier and double-barrier structures are presented. The single-barrier structure becomes more efficient as the temperature differential is decreased. The maximum efficiency of the double-barrier system is less than that of the single-barrier system.
