A thermoelectric structure and device including at least first
and second material systems having different lattice constants and
interposed in contact with each other, and a physical interface at
which the at least first and second material systems are joined
with a lattice mismatch and at which structural integrity of the
first and second material systems is substantially maintained. The
at least first and second material systems have a charge carrier
transport direction normal to the physical interface and preferably
periodically arranged in a superlattice structure.
