A thorough comparison of recent experiments in nanostructures is presented. Advanced subject such as carrier scattering time approximations in relation to dimensionality and the density of states are also studied. Solid state implementations of thermionic structures towards thermoelectric devices are further discussed. Different approaches for further increasing efficiencies are discussed including energy filtering, quantum confinement, size effects, band structure engineering, and phonon confinement.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ws14\" style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span class=\"ws14\" style=\"color:
