Both high thermal conductivity and low thermal conductivity materials are required in the device design. Besides the fields mentioned above, excess heat scavenging via thermoelectric devices is an ever-growing field. Thermoelectric devices performance is determined by the figure of merit Z=S2σκZ=S2σκ where S is the Seebeck coefficient, σσ is the electrical conductivity and κκ is the thermal conductivity. Materials that are good electrical conductors and thermal insulators are needed for efficient thermoelectric devices.EnglishThermal conductivity theoryThermal conductivity measurementMethods Raman thermometryMicro-bridge thermometryTime-domain thermoreflectanceBolometric thermal conductivity measurementsBook Chapter10.1007/978-981-15-5348-6_210.1007/978-981-15-5348-69789811553486
