IISER Bhopal Study Unveils Giant Thomson Effect for Advanced Cryogenic Cooling

We are delighted to share that a research paper titled “Beyond Kelvin’s Relation: A Giant Transverse Thomson Response for Efficient Cryogenic Cooling” authored by Dr. Subhajit Roychowdhury, Department of Chemistry, IISER Bhopal, along with collaborators, has been published in the prestigious Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).

The study addresses a long-standing challenge in cryogenic cooling by demonstrating a giant Thomson and transverse Thomson response in FeSb₂ at low temperatures. It also highlights the role of phonon-drag–assisted thermoelectric transport, offering new insights for the development of next-generation solid-state cooling technologies with relevance to cryogenic and quantum systems.
