“…An improved estimate of any conductivity bound can be made by using a more general form of the trial function ψ qs than in equation (81) and adopting the scaling and Ritz procedures [98,104]. The concept of obtaining both a lower bound and an upper bound for estimating a desired (but inherently unknown) quantity is called the complementary variational principles, details of which can be found in the book by Arthurs [105] and in the review article by Srivastava and Hamilton [106].…”

Abstract.This review article presents a discussion of theoretical progress made over the past several decades towards our understanding of thermoelectric properties of materials. Particular emphasis is paid towards describing recent progress in 'tuning' phonon properties of nano-composite materials for gaining enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit.
