In the table below are Seebeck coefficients at room temperature for some common, nonexotic materials, measured relative to platinum. [8] The Seebeck coefficient of platinum itself is approximately −5 μV/K at room temperature, [9] and so the values listed below should be compensated accordingly. For example, the Seebeck coefficients of Cu, Ag ...
The Seebeck coefficients generally vary as function of temperature and depend strongly on the composition of the conductor. For ordinary materials at room temperature, the Seebeck coefficient may range in value from −100 μV/K to +1,000 μV/K (see Seebeck coefficient article for more information).
Kuznetsov et al. measured electrical resistance and Seebeck coefficient for three different type I clathrates above room temperature and by estimating high temperature thermal conductivity from the published low temperature data they obtained ZT~0.7 at 700 K for Ba 8 Ga 16 Ge 30 and ZT~0.87 at 870 K for Ba 8 Ga 16 Si 30.
English: Absolute Seebeck coefficients of various metals up to high temperatures, mainly from Cusack & Kendall (1958). The data for lead (Pb) is from Christian, Jan, Pearson, Templeton (1958). The data for lead (Pb) is from Christian, Jan, Pearson, Templeton (1958).
Most research in thermoelectric materials has focused on increasing the Seebeck coefficient (S) and reducing the thermal conductivity, especially by manipulating the nanostructure of the thermoelectric materials. Because both the thermal and electrical conductivity correlate with the charge carriers, new means must be introduced in order to ...
The performance of thermoelectric materials can be evaluated by the figure of merit, = /, in which is the Seebeck coefficient, is the electrical conductivity and is the thermal conductivity. In order to improve the thermoelectric performance of materials, the power factor ( S 2 σ {\displaystyle S^{2}\sigma } ) needs to be maximized and the ...
English: Absolute Seebeck coefficient of lead at low temperature, according to Christian, Jan, Pearson, Templeton (1958). 0-7 K : Seebeck is zero since lead is superconducting. 7-20 K: Seebeck measured by thermocouple against superconducting niobium-tin. 20 K and up: Seebeck extrapolated by Christian et al, using previous results of Borelius (1932).
The thermopower, or Seebeck coefficient, of a material, which governs its thermoelectric properties (a misnomer, as this quantity has units of voltage per unit temperature) The power output of a thermoelectric generator that uses the Seebeck effect; Radioisotope thermoelectric generator
