SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on recommendations for textbooks on thermoelectricity, with specific titles highlighted by users. Christian, the original poster, seeks resources that cover the physics and mathematics of thermoelectricity. Key recommendations include "Thermoelectricity: An Introduction to the Principles" by D.K.C. MacDonald and "Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic Effects and Applications" by Harman and Honig. Additionally, the discussion mentions the relevance of "Physical Properties of Crystals" by Nye, which, while not solely focused on thermoelectricity, provides valuable insights into the subject.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermoelectric principles
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts
  • Knowledge of mathematical methods used in physics
  • Awareness of historical and contemporary research in thermoelectricity
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Thermoelectricity: An Introduction to the Principles" by D.K.C. MacDonald
  • Explore "Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic Effects and Applications" by Harman and Honig
  • Investigate the content of "Physical Properties of Crystals" by Nye for related concepts
  • Look for recent academic papers on advancements in thermoelectric materials
USEFUL FOR

Hi everybody

I am new on the site, so please bear over me, if I posted this in the wrong forum.

I am looking for a good textbook in thermoelectricity. I am interested in the underlying physics and mathematics. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Best regards
Christian
 
1) Thermoelectricity: An Introduction to the Principles by D.K.C. MacDonald.
2) Thermoelectric and thermomagnetic effects and applications by Harman and Honig.

There are other, more recent textbooks. Some old papers are also a good resource. There are also books such as Physical properties of crystals by Nye which aren't focused on thermoelectricity but which nonetheless contain important information on thermoelectricity.

An extremely good textbook has yet to be written, in my opinion.
