Example Sentences

This physical limitation requires Seebeck effect-based devices to have complex structures, leading to reduced service lives and increased manufacturing costs.

From Science Daily

On the other hand, by leveraging transverse thermoelectric effects such as the anomalous Nernst effect, thermoelectric devices can have much simpler structures than Seebeck effect-based devices, making them potentially useful in energy harvesting and heat flux sensing.

From Science Daily

Seebeck effect-based thermoelectric technologies capable of converting waste heat and other heat sources into electricity have been extensively researched in recent years.

From Science Daily

"Although Seebeck discovered the thermoelectric effect in common metals more than 200 years ago, nowadays metals are hardly considered as thermoelectric materials because they usually have a very low Seebeck coefficient," explains Fabian Garmroudi, first author of the study.

From Science Daily

On the one hand, metals such as copper, silver or gold have extremely high electrical conductivity; on the other hand, their Seebeck coefficient is vanishingly small in most cases.
