Abstract
Charge and heat energy can be transported through the semiconductor in the presence of appropriate (generalized) forces. Such a force can be an electric field or a temperature gradient. Both transport phenomena are coupled since electrons can transport energy and charge through the crystal. First, we will treat the charge transport as a consequence of a gradient in the Fermi level, then the heat transport upon a temperature gradient and finally the coupled system, i.e. the Peltier and Seebeck effects.
