Abstract
A plurality of metallic members are laminated via corresponding insulating members to form a metallic layered structure. Then, an energy beam is irradiated onto the metallic layered structure to generate an electric energy through the interactions between the metallic members of the metallic layered structure and the energy beam. The electric energy is extracted from the metallic layered structure. The metallic members are made of at least two kinds of metallic materials with respective different atomic numbers.
