Introduction to Thermoelectricity

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 121))

Abstract

Materials for use at high and low temperatures. Bismuth and its alloys as low-temperature materials. Alloys based on the IV-VI compounds. Thermoelectric properties in the Si-Ge system. Skutterudites and clathrates as examples of the PGEC concept. Promising observations on oxide semiconductors. Other materials with interesting properties at high temperatures.
