Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors report on a Peltier cooling experiment using commercially available Peltier modules and reaching 149 K on the cold end. On the warm end the temperature was fixed at 282 K by cooling water. In order to reach the superconducting transition temperature of the cuprates, better thermoelectric materials must be developed. The authors discuss estimates of the figure of merit needed for achieving the operating temperature of superconducting electronics in multistage Peltier systems.
