We discuss the peculiarities of Seebeck effect in stabilized electrolytes containing colloidal particles. Its unusual feature is two stage character, with linear increase differential thermopower as function particles concentration n⊙ during first (“initial state”) and dramatic drop it at small second one (“steady state”). show that properties initial state are governed by thermo-diffusion flow...

A first-principles approach is presented for the thermoelectricity in molecular junctions formed by a single molecule contact. The study investigates the Seebeck coefficient considering the source-drain electrodes with distinct temperatures and chemical potentials in a three-terminal geometry junction. We compare the Seebeck coefficient in the amino-substituted and unsubstituted butanethiol jun...

An apparatus capable of rapid measurement of the Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity at room temperature is reported. The novel aspect of this apparatus is the use of 4 multifunctional probes that comprise a junction of two conductors at the tip and serve as both thermocouples and electrical contacts. In addition, one of the probes has a built-in heater that can establish a temperatu...

Characteristics of a commercial Seebeck calorimeter are described. This very stable instrument is applied to a study of the Pons-Fleischmann effect using a palladium anode and a platinum cathode. The use of a laser to stimulate anomalous heat production (the Letts effect) is also described. Positive results were obtained for both effects and these reveal important aspects of the nuclear-active-...
