Measurement principle
A prism or cylindrical sample is set in a vertical position between the upper and lower blocks in the heating furnace. While the sample is heated, and held, at a specified temperature, it is heated by the heater in the lower block to provide a temperature gradient. Seebeck coefficient is measured by measuring the upper and lower temperatures T1 and T2 with the thermocouples pressed against the side of the sample, followed by measurement of thermal electromotive force dE between the same wires on one side of the thermocouple. Electric resistance is measured by the dc four-terminal method, in which a constant current I is applied to both ends of the sample to measure and determine voltage drop dV between the same wires of the thermocouple by subtracting the thermo-electromotive force between leads.
