THERMOELECTRIC MATERIALS

Abstract

Formulations were calculated for additions to CeO2 and for synthesis of the four ABO4 niobates. ZrO2 solid solutions, plus additions, were formed and fired. The green bars were formed at 10,000 psi for 5 sec; sintering was accomplished in a gas-fired, down-draft kiln over a 24-hr cycle. Using the Skinner Thermal Conductivity Comparator in modified form, an attempt was made to set up standard reference curves of delta T vs T for the reference standards furnished by NRL. The Seebeck Coefficient, as a function of temperature, was determined on the Nb2O5 Standard Series of additions to cubic ZrO2 stabilized by Y2O3. (Author)
