I wrote a paper on thermoelectric generators for a thermodynamics class last spring. I dropped by the professor's office and picked it up with my final, and apparently my prof. thought it was pretty good. I thought I'd put it up for you guys. It's about generation applications, but the equations work both ways (takes the same current to make a differential that you get from the differential).

Not a Real Journal Paper by any means, but it might make for a good starting point if anyone wants to get into the nitty-gritty of how these things work and what we might see in the future. I'd love to see a commercial version of the bismuth/antimony telluride lattice the military's cooked up.
