	Thomas Johann Seebeck Summary
		Seebeck's outstanding scientific achievement was the discovery of one of the three classical thermoelectric effects, which are the Seebeck, the Peltier, and the Thomson effects.
		Seebeck's discovery was the first, dating from 1822–1823, followed by that of Jean-Charles-Athanase Peltier in 1832 and that of William Thomson in 1854.
		Seebeck understood that his effect might be used for precision measurements of temperature differences, and indeed it is exploited for this purpose in modern thermoelements.

	Seebeck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Thomas Johann Seebeck was born in Reval (now Tallin), the capital of Estonia, that was then part of East Prussia, on 9 April 1770, into a wealthy merchant family.
		Seebeck is credited with the discovery of the thermoelectrical effect, but he used his discovery to incorrectly conclude that the earth's magnetic field was produced by the temperature differences between the two poles and the equator.
		Seebeck also formed a circuit composed of copper and bismuth conductors (wires) in which he held one junction of the metals in one hand, and observed that the needle deflected from the difference in temperature of the metallic junctions caused by the heat of his hand.

	Adventures in CyberSound: Seebeck, Thomas Johann
		Seebeck returned to the University of Berlin around 1818 (3) as faculty where he worked independently on the magnetization of iron and steel when electrical currents were passed through conductors.
		Seebeck also formed a circuit composed of copper and bismuth conductors (wires) in which he held one junction of the metals in one hand, and observed that the needle deflected from the difference in temperature of the metallic junctions caused by the heat of his hand.
		Seebeck devised thermocouples; used thermoelements to measure temperature, built a polariscope (device to measure polarized light); studied heat radiation, and the rotary effect of sugar solutions on plane polarized light.

		Still, the pioneer in thermoelectrics was a German scientist Thomas Johann Seebeck (1770-1831), who was born in the Estonian town Revel.
		Seebeck discovered that if the ends of the circuit consisting of two heterogeneous metals soldered under different temperature conditions were closed, a magnetic needle placed near it would rotate as if there were a magnet applied.
		Seebeck gathered much research material that dealt with circuits consisting of various combinations of hard and liquid metals, alloys and compositions of metals and effect of temperature difference on them.

		In 1821 Thomas Johann Seebeck found that a circuit made from two dissimilar metals, with junctions at different temperatures would deflect a compass magnet.
		Seebeck initially believed this was due to magnetism induced by the temperature difference.

	Thermocouples (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The first person to discover the effect of electricity being generated by the junctions of two dissimilar metals at differing temperatures was Thomas Johann Seebeck when in 1821 he found that the circuit could move a compass needle.
		Seebeck’s work set the platform for Leopoldo Nobili, who, after a stint as one of Napoleon’s artillerymen, developed together with Italian physicist Macedonio Melloni, a thermoelectrical battery in 1826.
		Thanks to Seebeck and Nobili, the electrical power is provided by these thermoelectric generators converting the heat from a plutonium heat source into electricity using thermocouples.

	Seebeck
		Seebeck se vrátil k univerzitě Berlína asi 1818 jako schopnost kde on pracoval nezávisle na magnetizaci železa a oceli, když elektrické proudy byly prošel dirigenty.
		Seebeck také se tvořil obvod složený z mědi a dirigentů vizmutu (telegrafuje) ve kterém on držel jednu křižovatku kovů v jedné ruce, a poznamenal, že jehla se odchýlila od teplotního rozdílu kovových křižovatek způsobených teplem jeho ruky.
		Seebeck vymyslel thermocouples; používal thermoelements, aby měřil teplotu, postavil polariscope (zařízení k měřícímu polarizovanému světlu); studoval tepelné záření a točitý účinek cukrových roztoků na letadlovém polarizovaném světle.

	Caneva lecture - November 16, 2000
		He referred to Seebeck's "thermelectromagnetic experiments" as he went on to claim for himself the discovery "that through unequal heating all bodies acquire magnetomotive properties," a fact he demonstrated by forming circuits composed of a single metal which, when heated at one place, produce a deflection of an appropriately placed magnetic needle.
		In repeating and extending Ørsted's experiments, Seebeck came to suspect that any inequality of action on the metals used in the galvanic circuit might produce what he persisted in calling a "magnetic polarization" of the circuit, his choice of terms indicating his disinclination to trace Ørsted's electromagnetic phenomena to the generation of an electric current.
		Seebeck argued that the magnetic polarization he observed could not be solely due to any free electricity-such as could be detected with an electroscope-and that one was therefore not justified in calling such circuits "electromagnetic."

		This effect was first discovered, accidentally, by the Estonian physicist Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1821, who found that a voltage existed between two ends of a metal bar when a temperature gradient $\nabla T$ existed in the bar.
		The Seebeck coefficients are non-linear, and depend on the conductors' absolute temperature, material, and molecular structure.

		When he held one junction between the two metals in his hand, a current was established, which he attributed to the difference in temperature between the junction in his hand, and the other junction in the circuit.
		Thus the Seebeck Effect involves the use of temperature differences to produce an EMF, and can be used to detect thermal radiation.
		We rarely mention the Seebeck and Peltier effects to introductory students today, but in the middle part of the century the thermo-electric battery was often used in place of galvanic batteries.

	Why Seebeck Needs Two Conductors \| Thermoelectric News
		This explains to some extent how Thomas Johann Seebeck was able to discover, apparently by accident, Effect 1 whilst never appreciating the existence of Effect 3.
		Legend has it that Seebeckâ€™s accidental discovery of Effect 1 occurred when he noticed that a compass needle was deflected in the vicinity of a circuit constructed of two dissimilar materials when the two contacts between the two conductors were maintained at different temperatures.
		I know of no reports to suggest that Seebeck ever noticed, or even attempted to detect, any similar deflection of the compass needle in the vicinity of a single electrical conductor with its ends maintained at different temperatures.
