Thermoelectric Phenomena in Metals under Large Temperature Gradients
Abstract
Nonlinear contributions to thermoelectricity are studied when large temperature gradients are present in metals. A theory is presented to account for these phenomena in the case of monovalent metals obeying a parabolic dispersion law. Simple experiments are proposed in which nonlinear terms are relevant and produce measurable effects. Keywords: Thermoelectric phenomena, Metals, Large temperature gradients, Nonlinear contributions, Parabolic dispersion law, Measurable effects.
