Abstract: 
The compatibility approach enables the description of thermoelectric (TE) effects in terms of intensive state variables. Based on the new concept of a Thomson cooler (using the particular case of a u=s cooler as a demonstration) the authors present practically relevant results about fully self-compatible cooler elements where the compatibility factor s is adjusted locally at any position along the element. By means of a comparison u=s cooler vs. conventional Peltier cooler with (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 material it is shown that there is a similar self-compatibility effect for different T. Therewith, the paper completes results published in Phys. Rev. B 86, 045202 (2012). (C) 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
