Abstract
Thermoelectricity describes phenomena that allow us to convert heat into electricity and vice versa. The practical implications of this conversion are obvious. However, research on thermoelectric effects also leads to a deep understanding of the electronic properties in conductive materials. In this paper, we discuss the most interesting results obtained recently in ultrasmall conductors, where the electronic behavior is purely quantum and classical theories of thermoelectricity are thus to be revised in detail.
