Abstract. In recent years, many researches have been focused on developing both thermoelectric structures and materials that have high efficiency. In general, thermoelectric research is two-pronged with (1) experiments focused on finding new materials and structures with enhanced thermoelectric performance and (2) analytical models that predict thermoelectric behavior to enable better design and optimization of materials and structures. In this paper we present a theoretical study about thermoelectric materials based on tin telluride (SnTe) and their applications in different fields
