A thermal transistor is a device that has potential in the field of thermal management.

This device can

switch and amplify heat flow using a magnetic field as the gate signal.

It’s similar to traditional transistor:

A thermomagnetic transistor can have a three-pin structure similar to a conventional transistor with a
base, amplifier, and collector, and it can perform functions such as switching. and amplify electrical
signals

differences and improvements compared to traditional transistor and how it work:

The effect comes from the thermal control properties of the material, instead of using the current effect
as in traditional transistors

The ON and OFF signals of the magnetic thermal transistor are controlled by changing an external
magnetic field. When a magnetic field is applied, the ON and OFF states of the thermomagnetic
transistor can be switched.

The ON for paramagnetic and thermal of Gadolium is increase so this device used to Increase
temperature.

The OFF for ferromagnetic and thermal of Gadolium is reduced so this device used like a heat sink. In this
mode, we need to place the device that needs heat dissipation in this position and the temperature will
be transferred to the cold source .

When a thermomagnetic transistor is placed between a heat source and a cold source, the change in the
temperature of the Gd plate will affect the heat flow and heat dissipation, causing an excitation or
blocking effect on the heat flow.

It have applications in many fields :

• Cools electronic devices : cpu without bulky heat sink
• produces heat : like in Thermal Energy Power factory.

It have challenges to completed and put into use

• Material selection: Finding materials with the appropriate properties for the different
layers of the transistor is crucial
• the fabrication and/or measurement of the previously proposed thermal transistor
mechanisms.
• Reliability and stability: Ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the device is
critical
