Title
The Seebeck Coefficient Measurements of Metal and Organic Compound
Abstract

Thermoelectric materials have gained myriad attentions as alternative materials for energy harvesting, due to it can convert gradient temperature to electricity especially in the range of middle temperature[1]. The efficiency of thermoelectric materials are defined by term figure of merit (ZT), which is formulated by: ZT = S2σT/к, where S is the Seebeck coefficient or thermopower (V/K), σ is the electrical conductivity (S/m), T is the absolute temperature (K), and к is the thermal conductivity (W/mK). Here, I concern to construct the system which can measure the Seebeck coefficient of materials. In my current research I have already measured the Seebeck coefficient of Nickel plate and organic compound (pentacene). Due to the high mobility of pentacene (up to 3 cm2/Vs), it is potential to explore and develop further.
