A thermoelectric device creates a voltage when there is a different temperature on each side. Conversely , when a voltage is applied to it, it creates a temperature difference. At the atomic scale, an applied temperature gradient causes charge carriers in the material to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side, similar to a classical gas that expands when heated; hence inducing a thermal current. Seebeck effect Peltier effect Thomson effect Figure of merit Device efficiency Applications Contents The Seebeck effect is the conversion of temperature differences directly into electricity and is named for German-Estonian physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck. The voltage?V?developed can be derived from: Seebeck effect Diagram of the circuit on which Seebeck discovered the Seebeck effect. A and B are two different metals. Peltier effect The Peltier effect is the presence of heat at an electrified junction of two different metals and is named for French physicist?Jean-Charles Peltier, who discovered it in 1834. When a current is made to flow through a junction composed of materials A and B, heat is generated at the upper junction at T2, and absorbed at the lower junction at T1. Thomson effect The Thomson effect was predicted and subsequently observed by Lord Kelvin in 1851. It describes the heating or cooling of a current-carrying conductor with a temperature gradient. Any current-carrying conductor (except for a superconductor) with a temperature difference between two points either absorbs or emits heat, depending on the material. If a current density J is passed through a homogeneous c
