内容説明
This second edition is a
comprehensive introduction to all aspects of thermoelectric energy conversion.
It covers both theory and practice. The book is timely as it refers to the many
improvements that have come about in the last few years through the use of
nanostructures. The concept of semiconductor thermoelements led to major
advances during the second half of the twentieth century, making Peltier refrigeration
a widely used technique. The latest materials herald thermoelectric generation
as the preferred technique for exploiting low-grade heat. The book shows how
progress has been made by increasing the thermal resistivity of the lattice
until it is almost as large as it is for glass. It points the way towards the
attainment of similar improvements in the electronic parameters. It does not
neglect practical considerations, such as the desirability of making
thermocouples from inexpensive and environmentally acceptable materials. The
second edition was extended to also include recent advances in thermoelectric
energy conversion, particularly the production of bulk nanostructures, new
materials with higher thermoelectric figures to use the possibility of large
scale thermoelectric generation, as part of the worldwide strategy for making
better use of energy resources. This book guides the newcomer
towards the state of the art and shows the principles for further advancement
to those who are already familiar with the subject. The author has been able to
draw on his long experience to cover the science and technology in a balanced
way while drawing on the expertise of others who have made major contributions
to the field.
