Thermo-EMF

In the current paper, there are considered the criteria for estimating the thermoelectric properties of metal glasses (MG) on suitability for thermometry. It is revealed that a principle of choice of thermoelectric materials based only on criteria is not quite efficient. It needs to examine also their mechanical durability, thermal, radiating, and anticorrosive properties, etc. More complete consideration proves that the use of MGs in thermometry is rather expedient.

The second part of the complex research of Ti1-xScxCoSb thermometric material for the sensitive elements of thermoelectric and electro resistant thermal converters is presented. Simulation of thermodynamic, electrotechnical, energetic and structural characteristics of Ti1-xScxCoSb semiconductor thermometric material for various options of atoms placement is performed.
