Hi,



I am new to the group and not sure if there are ant protocols I am missing, sorry in advance...



I am looking for a Seebeck coefficient for n-type, P doped Silicon. Can anyone help me out?



Thanks, Neil

SO, Wanderer...

Based on 'Figure 3.8: "Seebeck coefficients for differently doped n-type silicon samples"', at 500K, the researcher measured ~-1.2mV/K. Just to check, that is millivolts NOT microvolts? This page had concerned me.

Thanks, Neil

Millivolts. See

"While the Seebeck coefficient of most metals is in the range of 1 - 10 uV/K , values of 1mV/K and more are obtained with semiconductors."
