We investigated a possibility of application of liquid metal contacts fordevices based on thermotunneling. Electric and thermal characteristics of lowwetting contact Hg/Si, and high wetting contacts Hg/Cu were determined andcompared. We got tunneling I-V characteristics for Hg/Si, while for Hg/Cu, I-Vcharacteristics were ohmic. We explained tunneling I-V characteristics bypresence of nanogap between the contact materials. Heat conductance of highwetting and low wetting contacts were compared, using calorimeter measurements.Heat conductance of high wetting contact was 3-4 times more than of low wettingcontact. Both electric and thermal characteristics of liquid metal contactindicated that it could be used for thermotunneling devices. We solved liquidCs in liquid Hg to reduce work function and make liquid metal more suitable forroom temperature cooling. Work function as low as 2.6 eV was obtained.
