AC
Resistivity  |
- Measured by using precision DSP current source and phase-sensitive voltage detection.
|
 |
Thermal Conductivity  |
- Measured by applying heat from the heater shoe in order to create a user-specified temperature differential between the two thermometer shoes.
|
|
Seebeck Coefficient  |
- Measured by creating a specified temperature drop between the two thermometer shoes - just as it does to measure thermal conductivity. However, for Seebeck coefficient the voltage drop created between the thermometer shoes is also monitored.

| Thermoelectric Figure of Merit ZT |
- Determined here simply as the algebraic combination
 2T /( ) of the three measured quantities - thermal conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and AC electrical resistivity.
