Extract

One of the main trends of the thermoelectric instrument-making development is the microminiaturization of instruments and devices. Thermoelectric converter compactness is achieved by this. As thermoelement geometric dimentions reduce, temperature gradients in materials increase. From this it follows the research problem directed at the investigation of transport phenomena in thermoelectric materials at sufficiently large heat fluxes. Enthusiasm on investigation statement is warmed by the consideration about possible improvement of the efficiency at thermoelectric convertion when in thermoelectric materials temperature gradients of 106 - 109 K/cm/1/ have been realized.
