      abstract = {This book presents a range of low-dimensional superlattice  thermoelectric materials based on physical vapor deposition  (PVD) methods and explores various material types,  thicknesses, and processing conditions. With the advances  made in the performance of semiconductor thermoelectric  materials and the efficiency of thermoelectric devices in  recent years, thermoelectric power generation systems are  likely to replace traditional mechanical heat engines,  offering an environmentally friendlier alternative. The use  of low-dimensional, nanostructured materials can  significantly increase the density of states near the Fermi  level and greatly improve the thermoelectric properties of  materials. In addition, the book demonstrates that it is  possible to influence thermoelectric performance, establish  more accurate mathematical models through the regulation of  relevant parameters, and ultimately improve the  thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT).},
