AbstractThe Harman method was applied to measure thermal conductivity κ of thermoelectric materials, and the reliability of the measured κ was investigated. The quantitative κ requires a highly sensitive technique to measure minute Peltier heat. Temperature difference by Peltier heat pumping was successfully measured by developing the DC method of resistance measurement. κ of n-type Bi2Te3 sintered compact and n-type PbTe boules was measured at 295K by the Harman method. Static comparative method was also applied to obtain the standard value of κ. In the case of Bi2Te3, the κ by the Harman method agreed well with the standard value. In the case of PbTe in the electron concentration ne range <5 × 1024/m3, the κ almost agreed with the standard value. However, PbTe in the ne range ≥1 × 1025/m3 showed a larger κ than the standard value. The Harman method has an error to give the larger κ for the material with a large carrier component κ, of κ This error is due to the fast conduction of Peltier heat by the carrier. The reliable κ can be measured for the material with a small κ,.

AbstractCharacterization of thermoelectric materials can pose many problems. A temperature difference can be established across these materials as an electrical current is passed due to the Peltier effect. The thermopower of these materials is quite large and thus large thermal voltages can contribute to many of the measurements necessary to investigate these materials. This paper will discuss the characterization techniques necessary to investigate these materials and provide an overview of some of the potential systematic errors which can arise. It will also discuss some of the corrections one needs to consider. This should provide an introduction to the characterization and measurement of thermoelectric materials and provide references for a more in depth discussion of the concepts. It should also serve as an indication of the care that must be taken while working with thermoelectric materials.
