摘要
Electrothermal devices exhibit increasing secondary effects upon downscaling. These effects alter their temperature profiles and thermal energy distributions. Based on scaling laws, we show that the Thomson effect is increased over Joule heating as the structures are sized down. Thermal models are upgraded to take into account this secondary effect, and finite element simulations together with experimental runs validate them.
