We perform full thermoelectric (TE) characterization for materials and devices. The following measurement can be realized in the TE characterization lab

• Measurement of thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and thermal conductivity from room temperature up to 1000 ^oC.
• Measurement of electrical resistivity and Seebeck coefficient from -100 ^oC up to 1000 ^oC.
• Cooling performance characterization of Peltier devices using thermo-reflectance microscope for temperature monitor.
• Measurement of Heat-to-power conversion efficiency for TE power generators from room temperature up to 550 ^oC.
• Potential-Seebeck Microprobe (PSM) scanning for measuring the surface distribution of Seebeck coefficient and contact resistance

The lab is open for IFW employees upon request. Regular users can operate the devices independently after completing the instructions.
