Increasing awareness and concern for energy resources and the
environment have stimulated significant advances in materials and
technology for energy conversion in recent years. This volume, the
ninth in a popular series, focuses on novel materials, materials
processing and device technologies for direct thermal-to-electric
energy conversion, and emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of
research needed to advance the field. The volume begins with an
overview of the state of the art in high-temperature thermoelectric
materials by Harald Bottner. The section on nanocomposite materials
includes an overview on bulk nanostructured materials, one of the
most highly investigated areas in the thermoelectric community, by
Mildred Dresselhaus. A third overview article, by Peter Rogl,
addresses the potential of inverse clathrates for thermoelectric
applications. Additional topics include: applications and devices;
nanocomposite and nanostructured materials; theoretical
investigations; bulk materials and oxide materials."
