Abstract
The review of the works in the region of low-dimensional thermoelectric materials is done. It was shown the utilization's availability of superlattice of quantum dots, quantum wires and quantum wells on the base of composition IV-VI for thermal filds sensors of the thermoelectric energy converters. Observed oscillations in dependences of electrical conductivity, Seebeck and thermoelectric powers coefficiens on the quantum wells thickness are associated with quantum size effects due to electron confinement. On the base of oscillation's period of thickness dependences of experimantally measured thermoelectric parameters the nanostructures energy characterisitcs on the base of lead chalcogenides and stannum teluride were evaluated.
