1. Theoretical aspects of thermoelectricity

1.1 Thermoelectric effects (TE)

The first thermoelectric effect was discovered by Seebeck in 1822 , but was not understood until much later by Œrsted: a potential difference Δ V appears at the junction of two materials subjected to a temperature difference Δ T.

The best-known use of the Seebeck effect, S ab = Δ V/ΔT, is temperature measurement using thermocouples....
