Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro to Nano

Product Description
Ten years ago, D.M. Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical power sources, and continued progress in miniaturization of electronics has led to a substantial increase in research activity involving thermoelectrics. Reflecting the latest trends and developments, the Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro to Nano is an extension of the earlier work and covers the entire range of thermoelectrics disciplines.

Serving as a convenient reference as well as a thorough introduction to thermoelectrics, this book includes contributions from 99 leading authorities from around the world. Its coverage spans from general principles and theoretical concepts to material preparation and measurements; thermoelectric materials; thermoelements, modules, and devices; and thermoelectric systems and applications. Reflecting the enormous impact of nanotechnology on the field-as the thermoelectric properties of nanostructured materials far surpass the performance of conventional materials-each section progresses systematically from macro-scale to micro/nano-scale topics. In addition, the book contains an appendix listing major manufacturers and suppliers of thermoelectric modules.

There is no longer any need to spend hours plodding through the journal literature for information. The Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro to Nano offers a timely, comprehensive treatment of all areas of thermoelectrics in a single, unified reference.

BISMUTH TELLURIDE FOR THERMOELECTRIC APPLICATIONS: ENERGY HARVESTING AND THERMOELECTRIC COOLING OF GMR NANOWIRES

Product Description
Thermoelectric conversion has been an active research area from the past decade, with potential applications in electric generation from waste heat and thermoelectric cooling. This book presents insights into the electrodeposition and thermoelectric characterization of BiTe (bismuth telluride) thermoelectric thin films and nanowires. Also, for the first time, the novel idea of using BiTe nanowires for thermoelectric cooling of giant magneto resistance (GMR) nanowires is reported. Along with the fundamentals of thermoelectric phenomenon, a review of various bulk and low dimensional thermoelectric materials, which are currently under investigation by several research groups, is presented. Hence, this book can serve as a starting point to researchers as well as to the students interested in the field of thermoelectrics.
