3. Recent thermoelectric materials
The use of the various processes described above to minimize thermal conductivity has led to a notable increase in ZT values since the 1995s in several families of compounds . It should be noted that the figure of merit of older families has been increased, but above all that the discovery of new families has not only increased ZT, but also extended the temperature ranges in which thermoelectricity can be used. The maximum ZT value in several families...

Conferences and symposia (2004-2009)
The European Thermoelectricity Conference is held every year, usually in conjunction with an international conference when the latter is held in Europe. International conferences attract over 200 participants, and the European Conference in Paris in 2008 had 140 attendees (table 1...
