Abstract

Review of theoretical methods for description of thermoelectrical properties of two-phase macroscopically inhomogeneous media is given. Description by means of a hierarchical model of percolation structure is given, allowing a description on a qualitative and quantitative level of the basic regularities of effective thermoelectric coefficient close to flow threshold.
