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, Sab = Δ V/ΔT, is temperature measurement using thermocouples. The Seebeck coefficient S is the entropy Σ per charge carrier divided...
