  2. Seebeck coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seebeck_coefficient

    The Seebeck coefficient (also known as thermopower, [1] thermoelectric power, and thermoelectric sensitivity) of a material is a measure of the magnitude of an induced thermoelectric voltage in response to a temperature difference across that material, as induced by the Seebeck effect. [2] The SI unit of the Seebeck coefficient is volts per ...

  3. Thermoelectric effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_effect

    t. e. The thermoelectric effect is the direct conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice versa via a thermocouple. [1] A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely, when a voltage is applied to it, heat is transferred from one side to the other, creating a ...

  4. Thermoelectric materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_materials

    Thermoelectric materials [1][2] show the thermoelectric effect in a strong or convenient form. The thermoelectric effect refers to phenomena by which either a temperature difference creates an electric potential or an electric current creates a temperature difference. These phenomena are known more specifically as the Seebeck effect (creating a ...

  5. Thermocouple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocouple

    Thermocouple. A thermocouple, also known as a "thermoelectrical thermometer", is an electrical device consisting of two dissimilar electrical conductors forming an electrical junction. A thermocouple produces a temperature-dependent voltage as a result of the Seebeck effect, and this voltage can be interpreted to measure temperature.

  6. Thermoelectric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_generator

    A thermoelectric generator (TEG), also called a Seebeck generator, is a solid state device that converts heat (driven by temperature differences) directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect [1] (a form of thermoelectric effect). Thermoelectric generators function like heat engines, but are less bulky and have ...

  7. Correlation coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_coefficient

    The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, also known as r, R, or Pearson's r, is a measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables that is defined as the covariance of the variables divided by the product of their standard deviations. [4] This is the best-known and most commonly used type of ...

  8. Heat transfer physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_transfer_physics

    Various carriers (electrons, magnons, phonons, and polarons) and their interactions substantially affect the Seebeck coefficient. [31] [32] The Seebeck coefficient can be decomposed with two contributions, α S = α S,pres + α S,trans, where α S,pres is the sum of contributions to the carrier-induced entropy change, i.e., α S,pres = α S,mix ...

  9. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    The correlation reflects the noisiness and direction of a linear relationship (top row), but not the slope of that relationship (middle), nor many aspects of nonlinear relationships (bottom). N.B.: the figure in the center has a slope of 0 but in that case, the correlation coefficient is undefined because the variance of Y is zero.
