Abstract Both the off-diagonal Seebeck effect and the off-diagonal Peltier effect were investigated on the same textured sample YBa2Cu3O7−δ and with the use of the same experimental setup. The effectiveness of several kinds of heat-conductive media was studied for the measurement. The flatness of both the sample and the heat-conducting block, and the matching between them were found very important for the reduction of the heat resistance of the interfaces. A reasonable agreement was found between the off-diagonal Seebeck coefficient measured by the off-diagonal Seebeck effect and that by the off-diagonal Peltier effect. The steplike feature in the relation between the off-diagonal Seebeck coefficient and the annealing temperature may imply a nonmonotonous change of the Seebeck coefficient along the c axis (S c) with oxygen content.
