Description

Thermoelectric powers of a series of compounds RFeAsO (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Gd) have been reported for temperatures ranging from 77 K up to room temperature. The behavior of S(T) in this temperature range can be divided into three regions. Every region has been fitted with mathematical functions of T. The physical significance of separate terms in the mathematical functions has been discussed. Some kind of universality has been observed between different members of the series.
