Opto-thermionic devices combine thermionic emission and laser cooling to achieve the maximum cooling power and highest thermal efficiency. These devices are ultra small, very reliable and fully integrable. Many important problems need to be solved to improve the performance of this new class of solid-state cooling devices. One is to understand and manipulate the electron-hole radiative recombination and minimize the Auger process in reduced dimensionality devices such as quantum wells. Researchers at Wollongong and Lund will collaborate on theoretical analysis, computer simulation and electrical/optical measurements to solve this problem.

光粉设备结合了热电离发射和激光冷却，以达到最大的冷却能力和最高的热效率。这些设备非常小，非常可靠且完全集成。需要解决许多重要的问题，以改善这类新型固态冷却设备的性能。一种是了解和操纵电子孔辐射重组，并最大程度地减少降低尺寸设备（例如量子井）中的螺旋钻过程。 Wollongong和Lund的研究人员将在理论分析，计算机模拟和电气/光学测量方面进行合作，以解决此问题。
