Abstract :
Investigation results of state of the art and prospects of the theory, technology and practical use of thermoelectric FGM development have been presented. Computer technologies for the optimal predicted inhomogeneities determination have been considered. Data on the limiting possibilities of thermoelectric conversion efficiency improvement by means of FGM use as well as the data on the FGM technologies have been given. New possibilities of thermoelectric use have been considered
