In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

We review recent theoretical work on thermoelectric energy harvesting in multi-terminal
quantum-dot setups. We first discuss several examples of nanoscale heat engines based on …

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have rapidly emerged as leading contenders in
photovoltaic technology and other optoelectronic applications owing to their outstanding …

Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems presently allow for a
better understanding of their thermoelectric properties. As is known, the building blocks of …

With the advent of molecular electronics, tremendous attention has been paid towards
understanding the structure-function relationship of molecular junctions. Understanding how …

Machines are only Carnot efficient if they are reversible, but then their power output is
vanishingly small. Here we ask, what is the maximum efficiency of an irreversible device with …

Low-dimensional electronic systems in thermoelectrics have the potential to achieve high
thermal-to-electric energy conversion efficiency. A key measure of performance is the …

We describe nonlinear phonon-thermoelectric devices where charge current and electronic
and phononic heat currents are coupled, driven by voltage and temperature biases, when …

The thermoelectric transport through a molecular bridge is discussed with an emphasis on
the effects of inelastic processes of the transport electrons caused by the coupling to the …

Written by internationally recognized experts in the field with academic as well as industrial
experience, this book concisely yet systematically covers all aspects of the topic. The …
