| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we have investigated a novel cooling substrate based on thermoelectrics, named "nanofreezer substrate", in order to operate the quantum effect devices at room temperature. For enhancing the cooling efficiency, Seebeck coefficient, which is thermoelectromotive force at a temperature difference of 1K and an important parameter determining the efficiency, of SiGe material was measured. The Seebeck coefficient usually consists of contributions from electrons and lattice vibration, and we clarified the physical factors determining the lattice-vibration component. In addition, we have proposed a new fabrication process for the actual refrigerator and confirmed its fundamental properties.
