Nanoscale Seebeck effect at hot metal nanostructures

We theoretically study the electrolyte Seebeck effect in the vicinity of a heated metal nanostructure, such as the cap of an active Janus colloid in an electrolyte, or gold-coated interfaces in optofluidic devices. The thermocharge accumulated at the surface varies with the local temperature, thus m...
