Since its inception in 1966, the series of numbered volumes known
as Semiconductors and Semimetals has distinguished itself through
the careful selection of well-known authors, editors, and
contributors. The Willardson and Beer series, as it is widely
known, has succeeded in producing numerous landmark volumes and
chapters. Not only did many of these volumes make an impact at the
time of their publication, but they continue to be well-cited years
after their original release. Recently, Professor Eicke R. Weber of
the University of California at Berkeley joined as a co-editor of
the series. Professor Weber, a well-known expert in the field of
semiconductor materials, will further contribute to continuing the
series' tradition of publishing timely, highly relevant, and
long-impacting volumes. Some of the recent volumes, such as
Hydrogen in Semiconductors, Imperfections in III/V Materials,
Epitaxial Microstructures, High-Speed Heterostructure Devices,
Oxygen in Silicon, and others promise that this tradition will be
maintained and even expanded.
Thermoelectric materials may be used for solid state refrigeration
or power generation applications via the large Peltier effect in
these materials. To be an effective thermoelectric material, a
material must possess a large Seebeck coefficient, a low
resistivity and a low thermal conductivity. Due to increased need
for alternative energy sources providing environmentally friendly
refrigeration and power generation, thermoelectric materials
research experienced a rebirth in the mid 1990's. Semiconductors
and Semimetals, Volume 71: Recent Trends in Thermoelectric
Materials Research: Part Three provides an overview of much of this
research in thermoelectric materials during the decade of the
1990's. New materials and new material concepts such as quantum
well and superlattice structures gave hope to the possibilities
that might be achieved. An effort was made to focus on these new
materials and not on materials such as BiTe alloys, since such
recent reviews are available. Experts in the field who were active
researchers during this period were the primary authors to this
series of review articles. This is the most complete collection of
review articles that are primarily focussed on new materials and
new concepts that is existence to date.

Reflecting the truly interdisciplinary nature of the field that the
series covers, the volumes in Semiconductors and Semimetals have
been and will continue to be of great interest to physicists,
chemists, materials scientists, and device engineers in modern
industry.
