Resumen: Thermoelectrics are a potentially transformative power generation technology because they possess the property to convert directly heat into an electric voltage. In addition, thermoelectrics are a pollution-free method for generating energy. Until last decade, efficiency of thermoelectric materials has remained low, but due to the study of nanostructured materials they are becoming promising for commercial use. In this work we will be introduced in the world of thermoelectric characterization. For this purpose we are going to perform thermal, transport, thermoelectric and magnetic measurements in bulk single crystal magnetite and polycrystalline bismuth.
