Abstract
This paper is a review of thermoelectric effects in solids, with emphasis on the practical application of these effects. The basic principles of thermoelectricity are reviewed, the present status of the problem and recent achievements are outlined in terms of specific practical applications, and the present status of the more detailed theoretical treatments is discussed in a nonmathematical fashion. The more useful equations describing the important parameters are tabulated in Appendixes I and II.
