▎ 摘  要

A four-terminal ballistic rectifier demonstrating voltage rectification for both electrical (AC/DC) as well as thermal (temperature gradient) inputs is presented. The thermoelectric behavior of the graphene triangular ballistic rectifier (G-TBR) is based on its nonlinear electrical response. The responsivity and noise equivalent power of the device are calculated to be 8870 mV/W and 1.59 nW/Hz(1/2), respectively, at a back-gate voltage of 5 V. The rectified thermal voltage between two isothermal output (lower and upper) terminals is estimated to be 2.8 mu V at a temperature gradient of 150 K. Further, the electric and thermoelectric output of the proposed G-TBR is validated by analytical modeling. Such G-TBRs could be used in the future in energy harvesting application to use heat produced by electronic circuitry, integrated circuits (ICs), etc.
