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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, January 13, 2007

By	Jeff Sicuranza - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A great intro and general reference into a very niche but interesting study. I am currently using this book as a main reference to an energy related project. A great resource for the student, professional or just someone who is curious.

The book is well organized and each chapter can be read in sequence or independently as a reference. Plenty of information on the sources and tables. .

A great book and a must have for the professional or amature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic source for current TE research, May 3, 2008

By	Korea Universitysung Yun Mo "Nano" (Korea) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a really amazing book containing all the information necessary for graduate study and research on TE. I am fully satisfied with the contents and quality of this book and I will recommend my colleagues to purchase it.
