MS 5242 Thermoelectric Materials
Objective：
This course is intended to provide
students the basic theory and operation principles of thermoelectric
materials. First, the three thermoelectric effects and thermoelectric
theoretical considerations will be introduced. Next comes to a
discussion of thermoelectric material development and thermoelectric
characterization techniques. Finally, thermoelectric applications on
power generation and refrigeration will also be introduced.
