A simple apparatus for the simultaneous measurement of Seebeck coefficient (α) and electrical resistivity (ρ) in the temperature range 100–600 K, Hall coefficient (RH) and transverse Nernst–Ettingshausen coefficient (N) in the temperature range 300–600 K of the bar shaped samples has been fabricated. The instrument has been designed so simply that the sample can be easily mounted for the fast measurements of different thermoelectric parameters. The sample holder assembly of the apparatus has been designed so cleverly that any part of that section can be replaced in case of any damage; and so it can be regarded as a modular based system. The apparatus is relatively cheaper in cost and also portable.
► An apparatus for thermoelectric measurements has been designed and fabricated. ► It measures Seebeck coefficient and electrical resistivity within temperature 100–600 K. ► It measures Hall and Nernst–Ettingshausen coefficient within temperature 300–600 K. ► The apparatus is simple in design and ease of sample mounting. ► The apparatus is also portable and cheaper in cost.
