The dependence of the thermoelectric power S(hCu) of multilayer composition Al—Cu on the Cu-layer thickness, hCu, is measured in range hCu = (20—1200) nm. The temperature gradient is normal to plains of layers. When 1200 nm > hСu >> lCu (lCu ≤ (30—42) nm–electron free pass in Cu), the |S| ≅ 4 μV⋅K−1 is comparable with |S| of bimetals. When hСu < 100 nm, the layers impede to electron motion as superlattice.
Key words: multilayer composite material, thermoelectric power, size effect.
