Harvesting Energy through Thermoelectrics: Power Generation and Cooling
Volume 31, No.3
BUY THIS ISSUE 

Guest Editors: Terry M. Tritt, M.A. Subramanian

Over the past decade, heightened interest in thermoelectrics—materials used to convert heat differentials to electricity—has been driven by the demands for advanced materials in power generation and cooling, and for alternative energy technologies to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. As the articles in this issue of MRS Bulletin illustrate, a key factor in meeting these demands is the development of high-performance thermoelectric materials, either completely new materials or more ingenious engineering of existing materials. These range from thin-film superlattice materials to large single-crystal or polycrystalline bulk materials, and from semiconductors and semimetals to ceramic oxides.  We invite you to view the introductory article for this issue, "Thermoelectric Materials and Applications" by Terry M. Tritt and M.A. Subramanian, Guest Editors.
