Abstract:

The state-of-the-art of thermoelectric and thermionic power conversion is discussed. The report is intended to bridge the gap between the producers and researchers active in the field and the potential users of the devices. Emphasis is placed on those problem areas inhibiting further exploitation of the fields, in particular, materials problems. The anticipated trends in research and development for the near future are defined. Author
