Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thermoelectric materials, which can directly generate electricity from temperature difference, are promising to utilize waste heat. The efficiency of a material becomes higher for lower thermal conductivity. At higher temperature above 200 K, however, the experimental error in the thermal conductivity due to heat radiation makes the accurate estimate of the efficiency very difficult. In this study, we improved our own technique to measure thermal conductivity with a steady-state comparative method. By optimizing the arrangement of reference samples to a target sample, we have successfully calibrated the influence of the heat radiation as well as unexpected heat leak through thermocouples to measure the temperature difference along the target and reference samples. We applied the improved technique to samples of a p-type organic conductor (TTT)2I3 and compared the results with that obtained by the conventional method.
