THE THERMOELECTRIC POWER When a temperature gradient is maintained in
a metal and no electric current is allowed to flow, there will be a steady-state
electrostatic potential difference between the high- and low-temperature regions

increasing function of temperature. This is in striking contrast to the case of
metals. The conductivity of a metal (Eq. (1.6)), a = 5* (28.1) m declines with
increasing temperature, for the density of carriers n is independent of
temperature, and all ...

As a result, by adiabatically (i.e., at fixed S) lowering the field acting on a spin
system (slowly enough so that thermal equilibrium is always maintained) we will
lower the temperature of the spin system by a proportionate amount, for if S is ...
