THE PRESSURE DEPENDENCE OF THE THERMOELECTRIC POWER OF THE ALKALI METALS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE

Journal Article · · Phil. Mag.

The thermoelectric power S of the alkali metals was measured under pressures up to 3000 atmospheres at room temperature. A pressure of about 400 atmospheres causes S to change sign in cesium. The results are discussed in terms of the distortion of the Fermi surface under pressure. A relationship between S and the pressure coefficient of electrical resistivity is noted. (auth)
