V. V. Kryuk, A. V. Pilyugin, A. A. Povzner, and I. N. Sachkov UDC 544.344.2:536.212+544.431.13 An approach describing the influence of thermoelectric effects on the electrical resistance of the heterogeneous system metal-semiconductor is developed. The values of the parameters for which the minimum values of the temperature coefficient of resistance are realized are calculated using the heterogeneous system FeSi - FeSi2 as an example. It is shown that a marked influence on the electrical resistances in certain temperature intervals can be attained by creating temperature drops different in value at the specimen ends.
