"substantially larger transverse thermoelectric energy conversion between electric and heat currents that flow orthogonally... simple structures, long service lives, lower manufacturing costs... tightly stacked, paired thermoelectric silicon substrate capable of exhibiting a large Seebeck effect and magnetic 2D iron-gallium alloy, using optimum thickness ratio enabling electricity flow across them... maximum output 15.2 μV/K, 6X larger than that generated by anomalous Nernst effect... energy harvesting, heat flux sensing"
