Two Band Model

Data are presented for the thermal and electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of two samples of Ca (having residual resistance ratios of 10 and 70) between 30 and 300 K. Large deviations from both Matthiessen's rule and the Wiedemann–Franz relationship are observed. The former are tentatively attributed to the presence of two distinct groups of carriers in Ca, and analyzed using the two band model. The latter deviations are interpreted as the effects of band structure. The thermoelectric power of Ca is large. In many respects the transport properties of Ca appear to be similar to those of the transition metals.

Pure Palladium

The thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and absolute thermoelectric power of pure palladium have been determined from 90 to 1300 K in two experimental systems of proven reliability. These properties are compared with the sparse available literature data, and show large deviations from them, particularly for the thermal conductivity at high temperatures. The results are also analyzed in terms of a simple two-band model, where one band contains the carriers, and the other acts as a trap into which phonons scatter the carriers. When the recent density of states values of Mueller et al. are used, the model predicts correctly the temperature variation of the electrical resistivity, and reasonably well its observed magnitude and the observed Wiedemann–Franz ratio. However, the model fails badly in respect to the absolute thermoelectric power, predicting values twice as large as the observed ones. Modifications to the model are suggested which may improve the fit between the predicted and observed values.

Two Band Model

The Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance, and thermoelectric power of several specimens of NbSe2 have been measured as a function of temperature for various crystal orientations. A range of behaviour of the Hall coefficient has been observed varying from a reversal at 27 K for the purest specimen to no temperature dependence for the most impure. The magnetoresistance shows large deviations from Kohler's rule which are correlated with the Hall reversal. The results are discussed in terms of a possible phase change or a two-band model.

The electrical resistivity ρ and the thermoelectric power S of Mn2−xCoxSb(x≦0.3) are studied. The abrupt change of ρ and S (0<x) appears near the temperature of magnetic order-order transition. S of Mn2–xCoxSb (0≦x≦0.3) is positive in the ferrimagnetic region and negative in the paramagnetic region. we have discussed these behaviour of ρ and S on the basis of the band structure of Mn2sb.

The electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity, and thermoelectric power of Rb have been measured between 40 and 300 K. Two of the samples were bare, to avoid thermal contraction difficulties; the softness of these samples necessitated further, calibration, measurements on a third sample in glass, just below the freezing point. The electrical resistivity values agree well with published values of Dugdale and Phillips. The Lorenz function, not previously examined in detail above 25 K, shows strong evidence of electron–electron scattering, of a strength intermediate to that calculated by Kukkonen for Thomas–Fermi screening, and for Geldart–Taylor screening. Such scattering appears to have affected the thermoelectric power as well.

The group V semimetals are first introduced by comparing their particular band structure with the more familiar typical metals or semiconductors. Recent results on the electrical resistivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower of bismuth, antimony and arsenic are reviewed, with particular emphasis on measurements performed at low and ultralow temperatures. The data are analysed in terms of the peculiar features of the electron and phonon scattering, and reference is made to the band structure and rhombohedral symmetry. Recent improvements in the interpretation of the results are discussed.

Thermal Resistivity

The thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and thermoelectric power of Cs have been measured from 40 K, through the melting point which is near 300 K, up to 600 K. The thermal resistivity of both solid and liquid Cs contains a contribution from electron–electron scattering, which agrees well with theory. The electrical resistivity shows an appreciable "premelting" effect, which is tentatively attributed to impurities.

The Seebeck coefficient (S) of Sni1-x- Tex liquid alloys was measured as a function of concentration and temperature. For 0 ≦ x <0.45 the behaviour is metallic; S values are small and negative, rising linearly with temperature. The predicted values of Ziman's theory when using the hard sphere approximation disagree with the experimental ones. The change in sign occurs for 0.45. For x = 0.5 (stoichiometric composition) the thermoelectric power decreases linearly with temperature. This fact is explained assuming a two-band model. For x ≧ 0.6 the liquid alloy becomes more semiconducting and presents a maximum in the isotherms of S for x = 0.65. For the excess tellurium concentration range we have calculated the difference EF - EV and γ/kB, assuming a S(1/T) law. The experimental values are compared with those of Dancy and Glazov.
