Seebeck coefficient values of common metals

.....
The below values are approximate Seebeck coefficient of some of the common metals.
All the data is in (uV/K) (Microvolts per Kelvin)
The data is obtained from different sources. These values just give an idea of the magnitude of the Seebeck coefficient in different metals. For exact values please refer standard Thermoelectric Books or respective literature sources.
Copper (Cu):    +1.8
Gold (Au):         +2.0
Silver (Ag):       +1.5
Lead (Pb):         -1.2
Nickel (Ni):        -18
Platinum (Pt):   -5.0
Bismuth (Bi):     -70 to -75
Antimony (Sb):  +41
Aluminum (Al):  -1.7
Tellurium (Te):   +500
