👉 The thermoelectric effect, also known as the superconductive effect or quantum tunneling phenomenon, is a fundamental property of semiconductors that allows them to emit heat through electrical current. This phenomenon is crucial in many applications, such as solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity. In simple terms, when an electric current flows through a semiconductor material like silicon, it heats up. The energy stored in the electrons and holes within the material is transferred to the current flowing through it. As
