    2. Theoretical interpretation of thermoelectric effects

    Thermoelectric effects can be interpreted macroscopically by irreversible thermodynamics, or microscopically by solid-state physics, whose essential contributions were discussed in paragraph 1.1 . From a microscopic point of view, the Boltzmann transport equation is used to express transport coefficients in terms of relaxation...
