PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a newβ-FeSi<SB>2</SB>thermoelectric conversion material and a thermoelectric transducer using the same whereby thermoelectric conversion efficiency is improved by accelerating phase transition to aβphase, performingβtransition in a short time to a industrially useful degree, improving the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the element, and particularly achieving a low thermal conductivity without changing a Seebeck coefficient and a specific resistance. SOLUTION: Theβ-FeSi<SB>2</SB>thermoelectric conversion material contains a conductivity type determination element and Sn and/or Pb. Further, theβ-FeSi<SB>2</SB>thermoelectric transducer is made of the thermoelectric conversion material. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
