## Abstract Many of the recent advances in enhancing the thermoelectric figure of merit are linked to nanoscale phenomena found both in bulk samples containing nanoscale constituents and in nanoscale samples themselves. Prior theoretical and experimental proofβofβprinciple studies on quantumβwell s
Taking into account the temperature gradients in solar cells, it is shown that their e ciency can be increased beyond the Shockley-Queisser limit (J. Appl. Phys. 32 (1961) 510). The driving force for this gain is the temperature gradient between this region and its surroundings. A quantitative theor
