Abstract

In 1821, Thomas Seebeck observed that if two different electrically conductive materials (i.e., metals, alloys, or semiconductors), made of two dissimilar materials, A and B, are joined together at both ends and the two junctions kept at two different temperatures (cold junction denoted T c and hot junction T h), this thermal differential induces an electric current to flow continuously through the circuit. In the open circuit, an electric potential difference, called Seebeck electromotive force (emf or e AB ) in honor of its discoverer, appears and this voltage is a complex function of the temperature difference and of material type (i.e., e AB ) = f(ΔT, A, B)).
