Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Although the introduction of nanostructures into thermoelectric materials is one of key technology for enhancement in thermoelectric conversion efficiency, a technique for characterizing the nanometer-scale material is required. With the aim of evaluating Seebeck coefficient of nanostructured thermoelectric materials, we propose a new technique by Kelvin-probe force microscopy (KFM) which gives us local surface potential corresponding to the Fermi energy difference of a sample relative to the cantilever. Hence, thermoelectromotive force and temperature difference are obtained from the surface potentials and temperatures at the high- and low-temperature regions on the sample, which leads to evaluation of Seebeck coefficient. In this study, the Seebeck coefficient of Si-on-insulator (SOI) layer is evaluated by KFM. In addition, the measurement technique of local temperature by KFM is also described.
