Methods for measuring contact resistances of “metal – thermoelectric material” structures (part 2)
Keywords:
thermal contact resistance, electrical contact resistance, measurement, contact resistance, accuracy, thermoelectric energy convertersAbstract
An overview of existing methods of measuring thermal contact resistance, as well as methods that allow simultaneous determination of both thermal and electrical contact resistance, is given. An analysis of their accuracy, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the possibility of using them in thermoelectricity for the study and optimization of "metal - thermoelectric material" structures, was carried out.
