Abstract
A new method of electronic refrigeration based on resonant Fowler-Nordheim emission is proposed and analyzed. Calculations show that cooling power of at least 30 W/cm(2), as well as temperatures down to 10 K, may be achieved using this effect. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
