What kind of information on the electrons' organisation in solids
is yielded by measuring their thermoelectric response? Fundamentals
of Thermoelectricity gives an account of our current understanding
of thermoelectric phenomena in solids by presenting basic
theoretical concepts and numerous experimental results. Many
readers will be surprised to learn that even in the case of simple
metals (considered to be domesticated long ago by the quantum
theory of solids) our understanding lags far behind known
experimental facts. The two theories of phonon drag, the positive
Seebeck coefficient of noble metals, and the
three-orders-of-magnitude gap between theory and experiment
regarding the thermoelectric response of Bogoliubov quasi-particles
of a superconductor are among the forgotten puzzles discussed in
this book. Among other novelties, it contains an original
discussion of the role of the de Broglie thermal wave-length in
setting the magnitude of the thermoelectric response in Fermi
liquids.
