This report investigates the effect of heat transfer due to contact with measurement terminals on the measurement results of thermoelectric material properties using heat transfer simulation. In thermoelectric conversion technology, miniaturization and thinning of elements are being studied for their compatibility with compact power supplies for the IoT, etc. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to accurately measure thermoelectric properties of minute materials, and it is essential to evaluate the results in the entire measurement system.
