Description

The use of the recently discovered high-T/sub c/ superconductors for purposes of precision determination of the absolute thermoelectric power is illustrated on commercially available wires of copper and Nb-Ti. High-T/sub c/ superconductors offer a wide range of temperatures where precision metrology can be carried out, and their unusually steep upper critical field allows for an accurate determination of the effect of magnetic field on the thermopower of test leads
