Semiconductivity in the liquid Cu-TlTe system

  • 1. Yamagata Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Science

Description

Measurements of the electrical conductivity, the magnetic susceptibility, and the thermoelectric power for the liquid Cu-TlTe system are made in wide temperature and composition ranges. It is observed that the conductivity for the system falls abruptly at the composition of 50 mol% Cu and the thermoelectric power changes its sign around this composition. The diamagnetic susceptibility also shows a sharp maximum at the corresponding composition. The experimental results of the present work are compared with the previous data of liquid telluride systems and are discussed in the light of current transport theories employed in amorphous and liquid semiconductors.
