Thermoelectric Effect

The principle behind this is that a temperature difference leads to a voltage.

• Seebeck effect: $\Delta T\to e^{-}$ from hot to cold, which results in $\Delta V$
• Peltier effect: When there is a function of different materials, running a current through the junction causes $e^{-}/h^{+}$ pairs to generate or recombine. This will either release or absorb heat due to the momentum change required for $e^{-}/h^{+}$ generation/recombination
• Thomson effect: Creating $\Delta T$ in a material, we cause a Peltier effect across the gradient.
