Comparison between the thermoelectric properties of new materials: The alloy of iron, vanadium, tungsten, and aluminum (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) against an oxide such as NaCO2O4

An analysis of the thermoelectric characteristics of certain recently discovered materials is carried out in this investigation. The alloy of iron, vanadium, tungsten, and aluminum (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) applied to a silicon crystal is compared to new inorganic thermoelectric materials, which are mosly oxides like NaCO2O4. For both materials, the thermoelectric effects, Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, Thomson effect, and Kelvin relations are described....
