Thermoelectric Power of Dilute Copper Alloys

Abstract
The thermoelectric power of dilute binary copper alloys containing one atomic percent Zn, Ge, Cd, In, Sn, and Sb was determined over the temperature range extending from about 8°K to 320°K. The thermoelectric powers were obtained by measuring the thermoelectric emf's of thermocouples formed of the alloys and pure copper. The absolute thermoelectric power of pure copper was obtained from measurements on a pure copper versus lead thermocouple.
