Abstract Detail

Abstract

Thermoelectronics includes invariant ELEMENTS of Thermoelectricity, Thermoemission and p-n junction theory. And the Local NANO-THERMO-EMFs discovered and used to build the Unified Theory of NANO-scale, which are orders of magnitude greater than the Seebeck EMF, can have practical application for increasing the Efficiency of Energy Conversion of traditional devices. They are also a diagnostic tool for any microelements. But most importantly, they prompted the UNDERSTANDING that between the micro and Marco-worlds, Physics missed a scale where their linear approximations do not work, the Thermoelectronic Laws of the NANO-scale. Thus, Thermoelectricity, which was initially included in the FUNDAMENTALS of Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics, returned again to the Fundamental Science of the NANO-scale missed by Physics and actually expanded Electronics to Thermoelectronics, which revealed the previously unaccounted aspect of increasing the Efficiency of Energy Conversion - taking into account the spatial scale. Moreover, the Refinement and Expansion of the Theory of Thermoelectricity became the background (foundation) of all Evidence-Based Physics

Biography

Stanislav Ordin graduated in 1972 from the Faculty of Radioelectronics of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, Russia, where he specialized in the quantum theory of solids. In 1974, he joined the Ioffe Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where he is currently a senior research fellow. At the Ioffe Institute, he carried out complex experimental studies on a wide class of materials ranging from metals to dielectrics and from crystals to nanoparticles. Dr Ordin has authored more than 200 scientific papers and 15 patents, as well as 200 popular science articles on the website of the Nanotechnological Society of Russia. He was the scientific supervisor of 10 postgraduate students, all of whom successfully defended their dissertations for doctors of physics and mathematics. He is an "Honored Inventor of the USSR" and a member of the editorial board of the scientific and educational journal NBICS-Science, Technology
