Abstract
A thermoelectric conversion element includes a magneto-thermoelectric conversion body and a wiring. The magneto-thermoelectric conversion body linearly extends. The wiring is electrically connected to the magneto-thermoelectric conversion body. In the thermoelectric conversion element, an absolute value |ΔS| of a difference between a Seebeck coefficient Sm in the length direction of the magneto-thermoelectric conversion body and a Seebeck coefficient Sc in the length direction of the wiring is 10 μV/K or less.
