Abstract
An AC method of simultaneous measurment for the Seebeck coefficient and the thermal conductivity is proposed. This method shortens measurement time compared with conventional methods. In this work, the thermoelectric properties of the SiC/Cu are measured by this method at room temperature. The Seebeck coefficient obtained by the AC method (1.4-4.9×10-4V/K) is comparable to the data obtained by the DC method (1.8-3.8×10-4V/K). The thermal conductivity obtained by the AC method (78-86W/mK) is in good agreement with the data obtained by the photo pyro electric (PPE) method using the poly vinyliden difloride (PVF2) as the transducer (53-80W/mK).
