Abstracts

EN

Rare earth compounds have potential applications in thermoelectric devices due to their large value of conductivity and Seebeck coefficient. CePd_{3} has the highest reported Seebeck coefficient (S ~ 125 μV/K), when doped appropriately, among all rare-earth compounds. This high value is explained as a result of the placement of the cerium f^{1} level.
