Thomson effect (the Seebeck coefficient varies with temperature). The Seebeck and Peltier effects are different manifestations of the same physical process; textbooks may refer to this process as the Peltier-Seebeck effect (the separation derives from the independent discoveries by Jean Charles Athanase Peltier and Thomas Johann Seebeck). The Thomson effect is an extension of the Peltier-Seebeck model and is credited to Lord Kelvin.
