On the basis of the «bottom-up» approach of Landauer-Datta-Lundstrom transport model of modern nanoelectronics the thermoelectric Seebeck and Peltier phenomena are considered, the Wiedemann – Franz law and Lorenz numbers as well as the four transport coefficients – specific resistivity, Seebeck and Peltier coefficients, and electronic thermal conductivity are qualitatively discussed.
