Abstract
A review of the state of the art in the research and technology of silicon compounds for thermoelectric applications is presented in this book. It focuses on an aspect often forgotten in materials sciences: the chemical thermodynamics of materials. The silicides are interesting materials for wide applications such as sensors and thermoelectric generators and a lot of specific applications, magnetism for example, when the compounds contain magnetic properties.
