Fe films have been sulfurised to be transformed into pyrite films and their
Seebeck coefficient has been measured at room temperature. Comparison of t
he Seebeck coefficient values with XRD patterns allows us to propose that t
he measurement of the Seebeck coefficient could be a good tool to investiga
te the kinetics and energy of the pyrite formation process. (C) 2001 Elsevi
