Abstract

A Standard Reference Material (SRM^™) for the Seebeck coefficient is critical for inter-laboratory data comparison and for instrument calibration. To develop this SRM^™, we have conducted an international round-robin measurement survey of two candidate materials-undoped Bi₂Te₃ and constantan (55% Cu and 45% Ni alloy). Measurements were performed in two rounds by twelve laboratories involved in active thermoelectric research using a number of commercial and custom-built measurement systems and techniques. We report the results of these measurements and the statistical analysis performed. Based on this extensive study, we have selected Bi₂Te₃ as the prototype standard material.
