Micro and nanodevices for thermoelectric converters

The focus of this chapter is the presentation of micro and nanodevices for thermoelectric converters. Examples of applications for these converters are (1) in the conversion of electrical energy from temperature gradients and (2) in cooling devices. These converters are of solid-state type and use p...
