This second edition is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects
of thermoelectric energy conversion. It covers both theory and
practice. The book is timely as it refers to the many improvements
that have come about in the last few years through the use of
nanostructures. The concept of semiconductor thermoelements led to
major advances during the second half of the twentieth century,
making Peltier refrigeration a widely used technique. The latest
materials herald thermoelectric generation as the preferred
technique for exploiting low-grade heat. The book shows how
progress has been made by increasing the thermal resistivity of the
lattice until it is almost as large as it is for glass. It points
the way towards the attainment of similar improvements in the
electronic parameters. It does not neglect practical
considerations, such as the desirability of making thermocouples
from inexpensive and environmentally acceptable materials. The
second edition was extended to also include recent advances in
thermoelectric energy conversion, particularly the production of
bulk nanostructures, new materials with higher thermoelectric
figures to use the possibility of large scale thermoelectric
generation, as part of the worldwide strategy for making better use
of energy resources. This book guides the newcomer towards the
state of the art and shows the principles for further advancement
to those who are already familiar with the subject. The author has
been able to draw on his long experience to cover the science and
technology in a balanced way while drawing on the expertise of
others who have made major contributions to the field.
