Abstract

Condensed matter may be found in many different forms. For example, liquids, amorphous solids, organic materials, and ionic conductors have been considered as possible thermoelectric materials. The materials presently employed in devices, however, are inorganic (semiconductor) crystalline solids. Therefore these materials will form the basis of our treatment in this chapter, where we review the basic properties of solids, that are relevant to thermoelectric science and technology.
