thermoelectric effect

This is now known as the thermoelectric effect or Seebeck effect.

Thermoelectric materials show the thermoelectric effect in a strong or convenient form.

The thermoelectric effect is sometimes used to generate electrical power, starting from a source of a temperature gradient.

While all materials have a nonzero thermoelectric effect, in most materials it is too small to be useful.

Solid state heat pumps using the thermoelectric effect have improved over time to the point where they are useful for certain refrigeration tasks.

The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice-versa.

In addition, small voltage differentials may appear on the resistors due to thermoelectric effect if their ends are not kept at the same temperature.

In addition to this, any leads from the contacts should be constructed from the same batch of wire to minimise thermoelectric effects.

Thermocouples and thermopiles use the thermoelectric effect.

However, low-cost materials that have a sufficiently strong thermoelectric effect (and other required properties) could be used in applications including power generation and refrigeration.

(It may exploit the thermoelectric effect.)

In 1821 he discovered the thermoelectric effect, where a junction of dissimilar metals produces an electric current when exposed to a temperature gradient.

The band structure of semiconductors offers better thermoelectric effects than the band structure of metals.

Thomas Johann Seebeck discovers the thermoelectric effect.

Thermoelectric effect, the direct conversion of temperature differences to electricity, as in thermocouples, thermopiles, and thermionic converters.

Thermoelectric phenomena: Alternately, Chinese researchers proposed a mechanism which relies on the thermoelectric effect in magnetite.

Thermoelectric coolers operate by the Peltier effect (which also goes by the more general name thermoelectric effect).

Thermoelectric effect (or use of the Seebeck effect) uses thermal properties of an alloy to quickly and easily characterize many alloys.

In 2001, RTI scientists created a new thinfilm superlattice material that uses the thermoelectric effect to cool microprocessors.

The thermoelectric effect causes junctions of different metals to generate voltages if the junctions are at different temperatures (see also thermocouple).

Like bismuth telluride, BiTe, antimony telluride has a large thermoelectric effect and is therefore used in solid state refrigerators.

The thermoelectric effect refers to phenomena by which either a temperature difference creates an electric potential or an electric potential creates a temperature difference.

OUTSIDER: Intelligent life form whose biochemistry is based on liquid helium and the thermoelectric effect.

The authors simply tried various degrees of oxidation until they had optimized the thermoelectric effect, finding they could get a zT as high as 0.25 at room temperature.

The term "thermoelectric effect" encompasses three separately identified effects: the Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and Thomson effect.
