I'm not sure that "thermal diodes" is the correct term, but I recall
hearing a few years ago about the development of semiconductor devices
that acted as heat pumps or refrigerators.  Pass a current through
them and one end got hot, while the other got cold.  I think some
company actually tried marketing a portable refrigerator using these.
Does anybody know where I could get some specs on these devices, or
buy some of them?
