This document summarizes an investigation into instruments and measurement techniques for measuring thermoelectric properties of materials. It describes the thermoelectric effect and applications of thermoelectric generators. Two measurement setups are explained - one for bulk pellet samples and one for thick and thin film samples. Improvements made to the setups include applying thermal paste between samples and instruments to reduce thermal contact resistances and errors. Future work proposes designing a setup with pressure variation only on the sample, improving insulation, and evaluating accuracy using known materials. Results showed silver thermal vias significantly increased thermal conductivity over plain ceramic samples.
