Abstract
THE influence of cold-working on the thermoelectric power has been measured by a number of workers1. At room temperature we carried out measurements on copper and silver wires. For a certain amount of cold-working it is found that the relative increase of the absolute thermoelectric power is greater than the relative increase of the resistivity. These results do not agree with the theoretical prediction of T. Hirone and K. Adachi2.
