The phenomenon of superconductivity, the Peltier effect,
requires detailed explanations to be understood.
The semiconductor junction P and N by welding
has no net boundary between semiconductors, it is not a diode.
Under the welding process, the pn semiconductor atoms establish current connections, resulting in an electrically polarized structure in the direction and sense.
This stable polarized structure is a current source, a voltaic cell without chemical transformation.
The source is highlighted by the Seebeck effect, which, by heating a junction,
closes the electrical circuit through the other junction.
The heating of the structure tear the currents of atomic bonds and is pierced by the electromagnetic current generated by the polarities of the other structure,
The electromagnetic force tends to orient the open polarities at level the intensity of the structure.
The polarities of atom are of the bond current, open-loop current.
Electromagnetic oriented polarities become intensity I,
and if they oppose the orientation, they become resistance R.
Open polarities also interact with electrostatic forces.
On the one hand the attraction of the opposite polarity (interrupted bond).
On the other hand, the rejection of polarities of the same sign (the polarities already oriented).
The polarities oscillations between intensity and resistance are emitted by the atom (thermal effect).
Directly powered in closed circuit, the source structure does not emit oscillations.
Atoms of the structure do not oscillate, the electrical parameters do not vary.
The intensity I is the polarization density in the section of the structure.
Resistance R is zero, polarization orientation being the connection currents in the structure,
not electromagnetic. Potential U = RI = 0.
So the absorption of oscillations in the structure does not produce variations in voltage and strength, because these electrical parameters do not exist in the structure.
The structure produces the transition of the incident oscillations in the current (photoelectric phenomenon!), Which reaches directly into the connected circuit and there produces variations of resistance and emit thermal oscillations (electrofotonic phenomenon!).
Details
The thermoelectric generator produces two interconditioned polarizations:
Thermal polarization produces the sense of the electric current and vice versa.
Thermal polarization is the differentiation between absorbtion / emission processes.
This differentiation is the essence of the thermoelectric phenomenon and the prelude of future devices for the transformation of current into radiation and of the into current radiation.
In atoms, the absorbed oscillations have transient states (in current),
which may be limited or permanent (photosynthesis link currents).
This interpretation justifies the structure of the welded pn junction of the oriented electric polarities,
this being the currents of the atomic bonds in the structure.
Oscillations are information, and the structure acts "as a single atom"
but with a multiple transition capability in time and intensity.
The oscillations transformed in current (rectified) goes into the circuit as a current source.
The structure is an empirical achievement and will be studied and used in the future.
