Seebeckkoefficient
The Seebeck coefficient, also known as the thermoelectric power or thermopower, is a material property that describes the voltage generated per unit temperature difference across a material. It is a fundamental parameter in thermoelectricity, which is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa. The Seebeck coefficient is named after the German physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck, who discovered the thermoelectric effect in 1821.
The Seebeck coefficient is typically denoted by the Greek letter alpha (α) and has units of volts
The Seebeck coefficient is influenced by several factors, including the type and concentration of charge carriers
The Seebeck coefficient is a crucial parameter in the design and optimization of thermoelectric devices, such
