DETERMINATION OF THE THERMOELECTRIC POWER OF URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM (in French)

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Materials
The thermoelectric power of uranium and plutonium was measured by a differential method. A high value of thermoelectric power was found for the alpha and beta phases of plutonium, and a low value for the delta and epsilon phases, particularly the delta . This last result rules out Varley's explanation for the negative thermni expansion coefficient of the beta phase. The observed variation of the thermoelectric power with temperature is slightly different from that reported by Waldron and Lee. (auth)
