Opis

Thermoelectric energy conversion is a rapidly expanding area of science and technology that has realized significant advances, particularly with the advent of micro and nanotechnology. These advances have important implications in device applications. This book provides an update of worldwide activities in thermoelectrics in a readily accessible, convenient format. In it, 99 internationally recognized experts have contributed review-type chapters covering their areas of expertise. The discussions include several topics not covered in other publications, such as the impact of nanotechnology on the design and synthesis of materials with more than double the thermoelectric performance.
