Definition

The direct conversion between temperature differences and electrical voltage or current in materials showing coupled thermo-electrical phenomena (Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson effects), where charge-carrier diffusion under a thermal gradient produces an electromotive force or applied currents drive heat transport.
