Abstract:
This method solves the problem of fabrication of flexible elastic conductive thin film samples for thermoelectric applications. For this purpose, rubbing in technology at room temperature condition has been used which is simple, economical and reliable. As a result, elastic thermo-electric cells have been fabricated that can be used for low power applications and for measurement of the gradient of temperature in industry, medicine and in instrumentation as well. The elastic nature of the thermo-electric cells allows us to place the "hot" and "cold" points of the thermo-electric cells in different planes that make these thermo-electric cells useful for different kind of applications without limitation to place them in a line or in a plane.

Electrical Conductivity
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...
