About this book

This book is a comprehensive collection of the most influential papers on thermoelectricity published in the last two centuries. Starting with the pioneering work of Volta, Seebeck, and Peltier on thermoelectric phenomena, it takes the reader through a historical journey of articles and books that have shaped the field of thermoelectricity, covering topics ranging from fundamental physics to novel materials. The book is annotated by a team of distinguished researchers from around the world and includes English translations of the earliest research reports on thermoelectricity, many of which have never been made available before. This provides a unique opportunity to explore the scientific evolution of this groundbreaking discipline. Whether you are a seasoned expert or a newcomer to the field, this book is an invaluable resource for understanding the rich history and current state of thermoelectricity research.
