Thermoelectrics: Basic Principles and New Materials Developments.
Nolas, Sharp & Goldsmid
Published 2001 by Springer-Verlag.
300 pages, Hardcover.
From the publisher:
"This book is intended to serve as an in-depth analysis of thermoelectric
theory, an overview of present day thermoelectric materials and devices,
and as an updated source of information on the most studied recent
thermoelectric materials developments. The main emphasis is on a basic
understanding of the concepts and experimental techniques needed to propel
researchers towards new and novel classes of thermoelectric materials with
enhanced properties. The aim is to assist researchers in the field.
The text is an expanded edition of a previous text "Electronic Refrigeration"
by one of the authors, Julian Goldsmid. Half of the text is devoted to
research that has taken place since the publication of that text.
In addition, emphasis is placed on new materials research and developments."
