Thermoelectric power of barium up to 8 GPa

The present measurements indicate that the thermoelectric power (TEP) of barium at room temperature and pressure is 15 {μ}V K^-1, and decreases with increasing pressure, reaching about 4 {μ}V K^-1 just before the bcc{→}hcp transition. The TEP shows a discontinuous increase at the bcc{→}hcp transition beyond which it continues to decrease with increasing pressure.
