Abstract

Results of works on the phenomenological and microscopic theory of thermoelectricity together with the theory of thermoelectric energy conversion have been presented. New thermoelectric effects, generalizations of the basic Thomson relations, generalizations of the electric current induction phenomena for the case of a thermoelectric medium, generalizations in thermoelements description as well as methods for new types of thermoelements discovery have been examined
