Abstract :
A measurement technique for the thermoelectric power of thermoelectric materials between 300 and 1200 K is proposed and described. The temperature regulation uses the Peltier effect or the Joule effect provided by thermoelectric modules. The Peltier modules are built using FeSi2 material, allowing for a precise and fast temperature control. The technique of fabrication of the modules as well as the measurement set-up are described and discussed. Some thermoelectric power experimental data are shown
