Conclusion References 3, For the positive sign of the thermoelectric power in solid and liquid metals see [29].4, Usually the value of RH is equal to or somewhat smaller than that suggested by free electron theory. The sign of RH is always negative. 16) [60], [114], [125], and [126] quote one and the same result for Bi,Te, obtained by Fedorov in [127]. 17) Electrical conductivity for calculation was taken: for Te from [30], [76], [212]; for ZnSb from [30]; for Bi,Te, from [78], [215]; for GeTe from [207]; for SnTe [207]; for PbTe from [207]; for 80 molyo Bi,Te,-20 molyo Bi,Se, from [218]; for TlTe from [217]; for TI2Te, from [216]; for Ag,S from [2lO], [214], [221]. 18) The melts of Ag,S, GaTe, Cu,AsSe,, and Cu,SbSe, behave similarly but in a somewhat more complicated manner. 19) This figure also gives data for the melt of solid solution of 74 molyo Sb,Te,-26 molyo Bi,Te,. Due to the absence of references on electrical conductivity data it was impossible t o estimate the ratio LIL, in the melt. of the compounds investigated.
