Thermoelectrics Handbook- Macro to Nano [Book Review]

This book is not about conventional thermocouples but rather thermocouples made from modern semiconductors whose material properties and geometry have been tailored specifically to meet the intended application and possess Seebeck coefficients of hundreds of mV/degree. The book covers the general principles and theory, material preparation and measurements of thermoelectric materials, thermoelements, thermoelectric systems, and applications. The majority of the book covers nanobase materials and applications, including thin-film structures. Material scientists, engineers, academia, and students working in the field of thermoelectric materials would find this book provides a wealth of information in a convenient single source.
