This book is a collection of the latest publications by various authors and facilitates the exchange of new research and development results related to current topics of research, development and production of thermoelectric generators (TEG). The proposed thermoelectric materials for the production of low, medium, and high temperature TEG, thermal and mechanical problems of degradation in thermoelectric materials and TEG modules are considered. The boog describes theoretical studies of new inorganic and organic thermoelectric materials, new methods and measuring devices to measure the level of thermoelectric materials and TEG, and thermoelectric simulation of power producers, modeling, design, and practice.

The book helps researchers deal with problems common to cheap and efficient TEGs, and presents the latest trends and technologies in the development and production of modern thermoelectric generating devices. Editing of such collections, which serve as indicators of the state of the world level of developments in a particular area, is entrusted to recognized world-class specialists.

Mikhail Stepanovich Nikitin works at ASTROHN Technology Ltd. as the head of the development of cooled IR matrix photo-receiving devices, combining the efforts of employees of ASTROHN Technology Ltd., Giredmet JSC, and other enterprises. The combination of profound physical knowledge and broad practical skills of a production worker allows him to lead this hardest area of work.

We congratulate Mikhail Stepanovich on his upcoming birthday and wish him strong health and many years of effective work in our team!
