Open full text 7 citations

Abstract

The thermoelectric power (TEP) measurements in thin ytterbium and samarium films over the thickness range 500 AA to 1250 AA are reported. The TEP is found to be thickness dependent and increases with film thickness in both cases. The thermopower of ytterbium reaches a constant value of 19 mu V degrees C -1 for film thicknesses greater than 900 AA, and for samarium its value becomes almost zero for all thicknesses greater than 1100 AA.
