Introduction to thermoelectric properties of solids<br />

Joshua L. Cohn<br />

University of Miami, Physics Department, Coral Gables, FL 33124, USA<br />

A survey of the Seebeck coefficient of solids will be presented, with a particular focus<br />

on the magnitudes and temperature dependencies expected from simple theoretical<br />

considerations and what insights can be gained from its measurement in metals and<br />

superconductors. The separate contributions from charge-carrier diffusion and phonon<br />

drag will be emphasized.<br />
