G141 Development of a simultaneous measurement method for thermoelectric properties with a film-type thermocouple probes

Abstract

Thermoelectric properties are evaluated by a figure of merit Z which is a function of a Seebeck coefficient, a resistivity and a thermal conductivity. In order to obtain a precise Z, we have proposed a simple measurement method with a film-type thermocouple probes which can measure the thermoelectric properties, simultaneously. In this report, we focus in a feasibility of the proposed method by measuring thermoelectric properties of a constantan and a lead as a reference sample at a room temperature.
