4 Testing methods
4.1 General
It is indispensable to measure the inermo-power w esiaoiisn the thermoeieciric devices. • ne electrical resistivity and the thermopower shall be measured in order to define the thermoelectric properties of the materials used for fabrication of thermoelectric devices. Generally to measure these values the materials should be investigated under temperature from between 3 K and 300 K. There are two types of measuring methods for thermo-power measurement. The first is the integral method and the other is the differential method. In case of measuring the electrical conductance the electrical resistivity is to be measured and the reciprocal number of the measured value is to be used.A four-point proof method is typically used in electrical resistivity. When this method is used, the total voltage drop can be measured by the sum of resistive voltage and Seebeck voltage. To obtain resistive voltage without the Seebeck-induced voltage, very fast switching DC or AC measurement is needed to measure the electrical resistivity. In addition, the sample will be prepared of a wire type which has a diameter under 200 urn and thin films which have been deposited onto the silicon substrate with a 100 nanometer insulating layer.
4.2 Thermo-power measurement
4.2.1 Integral method
4.2.1.1 General
The integral method is a very simple method of obtaining the thermo-power value for thermoelectric materials. The generated voltage change between the reference material and sample material is used for the calculation of the thermo-power value of the materials. In this method the materials shall be fabricated in wire form to make a thermocouple form. The third thermocouple can be attached to the hot junction of the reference and sample wire to measure the temperature of the junction.IEC 62830-2 pdf download.
