Effective thermal management is critical across many industries dealing with high heat loads including electronics, automotive, aerospace, power generation, and directed energy systems. Conventional cooling technologies like vapor compression are reaching their limits for hotter systems and demanding environments.

Solid-state cooling offers transformative solutions by harnessing properties of materials and nanoscale structures to pump and transfer heat. Solid-state cooling refers to refrigeration technologies that utilize solid state materials and devices to provide cooling without traditional vapor compression or coolant cycles. Solid-state coolers leverage unique properties of materials like semiconductors, ceramics, alloys and nanostructures combined with phenomena such as quantum tunneling, thermoelectric effects, photonics, and magnetism to enable cooling below ambient temperatures.

Promising solid-state cooling technologies include:

  • Thermoelectric coolers using semiconductors to electromagnetically pump heat. 
  • Thermotunneling coolers that leverage nanoscale gaps and quantum tunneling to transfer heat. 
  • Optical refrigerators which use laser light to induce cooling through anti-Stokes fluorescence. 
  • Refrigerators that utilize light emitting diodes (LEDs) as the cold side of a thermoelectric cooler.
  • Thermoacoustic refrigeration harnessing high intensity sound waves in gases to produce cooling without fluids or gases.
  • Magnetic refrigeration utilizing magnetocaloric materials and magnetic field cycling. 

 

Passive technologies like heat pipes and advanced heat exchangers provide complementary high performance heat spreading and heat transfer solutions.
