Thermophotovoltaics is the science and technology associated with the direct generation of electricity from high temperature heat. Potential applications include combined heat and power, portable and auxiliary power, radioisotope space power, industrial waste heat recovery and c…
This text describes the theory of thermoelectric effects, both from a practical and a fundamental perspective, and presents many examples of applications of the theory to real materials.
"A search for efficient materials requires a fully microscopic treatment of the charge and heat transport, and the aim of this book is to explain all thermoelectric phenomena from this modern quantum-mechanical perspective."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
