Abstract

This review article presents a discussion of theoretical progress made over the past several decades towards our understanding of thermoelectric properties of materials. Particular emphasis is placed upon describing recent progress in 'tuning' phonon properties of nanocomposite materials for gaining enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit.
