Abstract

A novel technique is described for directly measuring the Seebeck coefficient across the solid-liquid interface of gallium as a function of temperature and crystallographic orientation. The results are compared with those calculated from the absolute thermoelectric power of solid and liquid gallium. The temperature ranges for the measurements were 248 to 302K for solid gallium, and 278 to 353K for the liquid; the liquid was supercooled up to 25K. The effect of crystal orientation on the thermoelectric power of gallium single crystals grown along the a, b, and c axes was investigated. The anisotropy of the thermoelectric power is discussed based on the electronic properties of gallium.
